Did you guys ever stop to think that maybe telling what socket type this board is?  I'm guessing that it is AM2/AM2+/AM3 but you don't even mention if it is for Intel or AMD CPUs....

the U.S. government will have garnered over $600 in criminal fines from LCD price fixing.

 I think you mean $600 million.

 I do not consider Google a monopoly.  They provide excellent services and indirectly make money from those services.  I use Google Search, GMail, Reader, and Groups on a regular bases.  Why?  Not only is it convient to have access to all those thing from a single page but they are also very stylish and minimalistic.

 And in reply to an above poste, you cannot put Google and Microsoft in the same boat.  They are two completely different companies with two completely different approaches.  Microsoft makes products that you buy to get money where as Google provides services in order to get you into thier domain and gets money from advertisers.  Google supports open source with OpenOffice and Android which to me is the icing on the cake.

Yes liquid helium/nitrogen is not practical for home use overclocking... I think that is pretty obviouse, but last time I checked the land speed record was not set in your typical soccer mom's van either.  Records are set by going to the extreme with what you have available to you such as liquid helium and "unapproved" drivers.  I mean what do you even consider to be an unapproved driver?  If its the optimal choice then its also the obviouse one.  When start splitting hairs it makes you look like the loser even if you are the winner.

 Bottom line is that I could care less if Intel beat the benchmark scores 8 days before they were even rendered because I didn't see any headlines about it and they didn't have an interesting video to go with it.  I don't care who holds the record.  I'm more intertested in how you got there and seeing it happen.
