What does it run like?
Running like a 3.4GHz? 3.6GHz? 2.52GHz?

Doesn't really matter what any tool tells you in the end - just matters what
the actual performance is to you or those who utilize it.

IMHO:
Overclocking - at today's faster processor speeds - is like playing russian
roulette just because you are bored (ie: you have nothing better to blow
your money/time on... it's something to do... a hobby?)
