Tom's Hardware (http://www17.tomshardware.com/cpu/20021216/index.html) seems to have done the impossible by overclocking a P4 to 4.1Ghz.... and made it stable.

"Compared to overclocking with liquid hydrogen, where systems will only operate stably for a few minutes beyond 4000 MHz, our solution is perfectly suited for everyday use and can be used in a professional environment. This is proved in spectacular fashion by the 30 different benchmarks."

not to impressive on the numbers :( That is like seeing an 900hp car running a 12 second quarter mile... #'s look great but when all is said and done kinda bored me... I mean sheesh look at the point spread between the 2800+ non overclocked and the 4ghz pent on 3dse... is like 1800 points... overclock that 2800 and it would be within a 1000 points... I am sure the processor shines on other area's but video is all I really car about haha :)
