    GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R

    Just put the base clock up (BCLK), the 920s are really easy to push to 3.2GHz without needing to push the voltage up. Go in 10MHz increments, and stress test, then repeat.

    Incompatible memory

    What makes an i7 so "special"?

    Phenom II doesn't have an FSB, they have much the same tech that Intel employs in the i7. As a matter of fact, AMD processors have had QPI (I know its another name, but the word escapes me for now) for years before Intel decided to finally ditch the FSB. Phenom II also lacks hyperthreading...

    Apple: Netbooks Don't Deserve Mac Brand

    “We don’t know how to build a sub-$500 computer that is not a piece of junk,” How f***ing hard is it? All netbooks use the same damn processor and chipset; what a lame bloody excuse.
