I dont get how you got that TFT for £150, you bough 4 cheap and sold 3 on? How much you get the 4 at?

[Grey M@a]

same as Rave, wheres the image to show the CPu at 4.2Ghz, its a mighty OC from a prescott.

[Kezzer]

Haha, that's awesome. So cheap yet so good! This guy knows how to do it!

Actually the 5XX-J and 6XX processors can often hit 4GHz on air with not too much difficulty. I've seen people get the latest Celeron-Ds that high too.
