Ed Knocked it out of the park with this article.
http://www.overclockers.com/tips01251/
the bottom line is this:
we have 3 or 4 more years before hardware stalls for a while!
(a while meaning enough to matter to most people)
i have two points to extrapolate:
1.
Specialty software aside, we are about to face a software crunch.
+++ hardware stalls for a while and software HAS to catch up.
(praise the closest holy thing you got! its about time!)
meanwhile:
2.
overclocking is going to see a MAJOR second wind when this happens!
overclockers mount up! its coming.
...dont fall for the candy and polish hardware when this happens.
the newest and biggest yet - will be a disguise for the same old turd.
how much polish can one of those take before you have to go back and overclock like a decade before?
the future holds a born again overclocking moovement - and better software.
in a sea of turds that might just start to drown the hardware makers.
its up to us and the software guys.
the software guys handed us half the bargian - as they have been for a while now.
were on top of it - and as long as the software guys do their thing, well do ours and the turds wont matter too much.
