I really need to get me one of those and a 4807*2! I'm just having a hard time justifying it since I don't play that many demanding games on my Pc now I have an xbox.

| One aspect of the Nehalem (i7) that bothers me is that it is gonna be energy efficient and rightly so. But this will be done by closing down unneeded cores and perhaps auto throttle back, so overclocking may become some what tricky, in that what you acheive is throttled back and hindering the performance of the app as the chip perceives that it is getting the right amount of processing power. But when it comes to games the information is moving and on the screen and so may lead to undesirable image quality. Still, all being well the tools will be inplace to cross the bridge when we come to it. Like disabling cool and quite on Athlon.

Did you two not read the article then?
It came across as all i7 chips use a bus of 133MHz, and the chips just have different multis.
Which means no OC'ing, I'd presume.

Slipstreem (24/08/2008)
I'm not so sure. I find some evidence dotted around to suggest that it may be otherwise, although it may not be an overclock in exactly the same way we currently define or achieve one.
Cheers, Slipstreem. 
I'll look after this
But, it looks like we won't really need to OC, if the i7 is as powerful as Teaf's link shows!

Remember the rumour that they wouldn't be able to overclock?
