True, thanks to new mobo protection schemes, breaking your computer is harder than ever!
For example, mine has a built in Voltage regulator, which if I set it to a level that would fry it, it shut off my PC and resets to default. Most mobos, even the cheap ones, come with such features these days. As long as you don't purposely fudge things up...
I OC'ed my CPU after reading a 5 minute guide & got 12 hours in P95, 2.4 to 3.4GHZ, it can do massive increases in performance, yeh. Q6600 is a good CPU.
