personally i think a lot of people under-estimate the value of people like us (OC'ers) who push the limit of these technologies do for these companies.
1. Advertising, there are so many web masters, IT pro's and other computer related people in this forum, advertising for free these cpu's and the fact they OC that it has a much larger impact than just what we buy.
2. Pushing these technologies and cpus forces companies to produce new hardware, and has dispelled so much BS from intel and others its not funny. If it wasnt for us, everyone would believe adding more voltage to cpu would kill it dead, and changing a bios setting would make your computer explode.
3. We are like revolutionaries of the hardware world, if we wernt around, Intel, Amd, and who ever else, could say whatever they like and no one would question them. So we keep the cpu companies honest (to an extent).
4.
And honesty is bad for business, so im not surprised they want rid of us.
so like i said, anyone who knows how to use their pc will just continually be dispointed because more and more the computer is made for people who couldnt operate a toaster (one already plugged in). Personally i hope a third player enters the market, i dont care what country, what speeds, as long as i can do what i want with it you know, not have these god damed limits on everything.
