Make my Intel 2.4 seem rather puny :-/

Yeah, Syngrow is his nickname. uhm, he's Dutch 8)

And he's not the first to reach that speed with a C2D.
Someone from Taiwan did it too but that guy had to disable the second core, if I'm not mistaking.

Also the Taiwan record was set with a C2D X6800 (2.93GHz > 5.27GHz) and the Dutch record with a C2D E6600 (2.4GHz > 5.19Ghz) which seems far more impressive. Screenshot

Same feeling goes for my X2 4400+ setup  heh, but oh well it is fast enough for the games of today all that extra speed will cost me only extra money ;)

I did think about selling my gear, but what's the point? Nothing, I will need more than 1400 euro's to get the new gear while my gear which I have for about 5 mounths won't sell above the 900 Euro mark maybe even less, nah it's not worth it, for that money could better aford it for my furniture for my new home Gamma ;)

All I'm gonna add to it is a Sapphire X1900 CrossFire Edition ;D, can grab one of those for about 330 euro's which is enough for my upgrade.
