umm tomake. I hope this guy gave you proper cooling for the processor and the video card.

Even at the highest at the moment 3.2 ghz dual core. This guy he pushing each core 600Hmz more for each. Meaning a hell of alot more heat being produced.

Well as long as he's properly cooling the overclocked componets, its a pretty nice buy

the graphics card has a fan at least ;p,
Im not really sure about the cooling, I'll ask him later what is the cooling device

He overcharge for shipping too lol
doesnt come with keyboard/speakers/ or mouse either but i got them around the house

EDIT:

read down at the end:

This is not meant to insult the intelligence of any watchers on the auction, but rather to explain further what this auction consists of.

1. This is one Pentium 4 dual core processor. Not two single core processors on the same mother board.

2. The chip is not shipped to me at 3.8GHZ dual core. It is overclocked by myself, with higher voltages, better cooling, and much safety precaution. This is the only way to achieve such superior performance with this system

yea i figured, just for your safety though man. Make sure to keep that computer in a well vented area, and never put anything on top of it. Also for the gpu ( graphics card) you should think about getting one of those pci fans so the card will always be venting.

Since you can dual boot windows on a Mac now, I'm seriously considering a laptop to mess around with. If not Boot Camp, then there's another piece of software called Parallels or something in which you can run Windows on a virtual machine while you have the MacOS up to.

Boot camp is great though, because it allows windows to boot natively on your mac book pro. If you do it via virtual machine you tend to get a hit on performance, because you are forcing the processor to handle 2 O.S. Of course having 2 cores helps but you know. I think Boot camp is a great idea by apple.

Yeah that's what sold me on it too. I looked into Parallels a bit and like Mikey said it doesn't run a lot of the hardware natively, most notably the GPU, so you really take a hit on performance. I'm using Boot Camp right now and it's real simple. Everytime I boot up I have the option of running OSX or Windows, it's beautiful. I'm not really sure how well games and stuff work in Windows yet, I've been installing FFXI for like 101000010030402 hours, so we'll see. I can run CoD2 with full everything in OSX, hoping it's comparable in Windows.

My bro is in town here in AZ and I'm trying not to just sint on my new laptop all the time lol
