    I knew it was fake, but it was cool to read, and as everyone knows, they might as well make a OC processor, because that is what AMD is really good for, and if they did, they would make a killing.

    May have been believable if it weren't for this sentence

    "Intel was quick to respond and announced that the 74.99 MHz Pentium IV OC will be available as soon as they get the stickers printed up. The race for 1 Hz begins."

    Now that would never happen!
    and the race for 1 Hz????

    LOL

    That's a funny article. If AMD or Intel actually released an "OC" processor it'd be the stupidest marketing decision ever. A 75mhz processor that can my OC'ed by 10x costing more than an actual 750mhz processor? That's the opposite of OCing! The point is to get a 600mhz processor that's cheaper than the 750mhz processor and OC it and save money and gain bragging rights.

    Just my 2 cents.
