| mounted the copper pipe and made the necessary voltage modifications, the liquid nitrogen once again did its thing and made it possible for them to finally reach 8000MHz! |

| I'm curious if that really accomplishes much. The system bus stays the same speed doesn't it? |

| How couldn't it be beneficial (if it were practical)? It's like dropping an 8GHz CPU in your system. |

You'd still have one huge of a bottleneck at the bus. The cpu can't move the info around any faster. Like waiting in line with a bunch of crank in your system. Sure your heart beats faster, and you're twitching, but you aren't moving forward faster.
Anyways, maybe the system bus speed up as well. i'd have to research it, but i doubt it.
In the end, the speed of the clock is just that. If there's no improvment on the other components -- what's the point. If you could speed a Pentium II up to 4 Ghz, you'd still have th slowest, crappiest computer around. |

The FSB is 533 Mhz thats a serious overclock...
So yes the System Bus is getting a serious overclock. |

It is not about being practical...it's about POWER, baby.

You could say the same thing about drinking 4 bottles of beer vs 12 bottles of beer. The end result is still an obnoxious stupid drunk person. |

There's an idea. About 10 minutes of "research" and you will see what you should have been saying. |
