Overclockers.com (http://www.overclockers.com/articles1049/): People talk about the new technologies in this platform like DDR2 and PCI Express, but two less-heralded new features got my attention.
The Joke
The first is The Disposable Socket. Well, what else would you call a socket that even the geniuses responsible for it says is only good for twenty "careful" insertions. And when you wear it out, just buy a new . . . motherboard.
......
Could matters get worse?
Why, yes. Just in case there were any overclockers foolish enough to buy Prescotts left, Intel has decided it is time to implement a lock on FSB overclocking!
Go over 10%, and it crashes.
