Default Overclocking just got better..

http://www.tomshardware.com/pictures...therboard.html

"This is the OC Palm tool, which ASUS includes with the P6T Deluxe. It
attaches via USB 2.0 and facilitates real-time multiplier adjustments
without needing to mess with the BIOS or even a Windows-based utility.
According to ASUS, it interfaces with its TurboV controller to enable access
to several voltages: northbridge, PCI Express, CPU PLL, and memory voltages
in .02V increments. You can use the OC Palm to monitor voltage, fan speed,
and temperature, too. A couple of hot key buttons will let you fire up saved
profiles if you need an extra boost of speed and have a configuration stored
that you know runs stably. "

Awesome! It'd be great to push your system to it's (stable) limits, store
that profile, store the 'default' profile and then underclock so that you
have a power-saving mode for what most of us use our machines for 90% of the
time, surfing, email, wordprocessing.... All switchable at the touch of a
hotkey.

Shame I'm only a year into my five-year PC replacement cycle. :-(

Cheers,

Looks fun. It will be two years for me early next year, so I will probably
be doing a Nehalem build sometime around that time. The palm tool looks like
a nice little toy, not just for overclocking but troubleshooting as well.
