i love running that intel overclock detector. "oooh, someone must have 
hacked my hardware. those fuckers...!" :P
for the computer savy, just hit those numbers today, i had been putting off 
doing the pin-mod on my xeons to trick the chipset into thinking they are 
800fsb. funny thing is this motherboard isnt even supposed to support 
800fsb. what really irks me is that i could have done that mod nearly a year 
ago. ugh.

heheh
