Another case of knowing how to do something making all the difference.

When done properly, overclocked machines are just as stable as any other
system.


If your mechanic tells you not to start your engine with no oil in it, WOULD
YOU? Now what if 15 bazillion other drivers swore up and down that it was
OK to start an engine with no oil in it, and that it runs just fine that
way? Hobbyists like to overclock because they don't know any better. How
do you tell the hacks from the pros? See who advises you to overclock and
who advises you to build a faster computer if that's what you need. Now YOU
guess who the professional is. Hint: It aint the guy telling you to start
your engine with no oil in it, and it for god damned sure isn't the guy
telling you that overclocking is OK because you CAN have a stable system "if
you know how". You won't find anyone with any degree of hardware knowledge
(REAL hardware knowledge) overclocking a system. I don't have to wonder
why, but maybe you should think about that. -Dave
