"The AMD Athlon 3200+ chip is well regarded as a leading desktop chip, yet it still faces challenges in the marketplace. As Meta Group analyst Steve Kleynhans explained it, the problem is that the 3200+ is a high end processor whose performance outstrips the demands of most desktop users.

- Opteron overclocked with liquid nitrogen
Japanese Katsumi at VR-Zone Forum shows how he
overclocked an Opteron 244 from 1.8GHz to over 2.2GHz using liquid nitrogen (LN2) and modding the Asus SK8N to allow Vcore increase. The conclusion of the experience is something we can really meditate on: "It is not easy to overclock Opteron as you can see so hopefully Athlon 64 will be easier"... Enjoy at VR-Zone Forum here

The result is more than great and will give a new life to retired boards and motherboard makers that don't sell well...  Thanks
Tech Lounge for this!
