@ mortal and giddy
Intel have done away with the FSB. The base clock is used to determine CPU and Memory frequency throught the use of different multipliers. That OC is a noobs OC much like yourselves.

yeah good point, its maximum overclock is still less than the standard mhz for its predecessors!

technology should improve with time NOT GET WORSE!

how much do they charge for these overgrown pentium 3s?

is 133mhz FSB standard on an i7 cpu?

thats seriously lame - you have to overclock it to make it normal!

intel take the biscuit this time (or do they take the p***?)

i bet these cpus are actually re-badged sx-16s - intel are capable of anything when it comes to scamming the customer for maximum revenue

That's their press release (or one of them)! Check the lingo.

"ABIT Releases the AI7 : The First Motherboard With a Second Processor"

"No stranger to innovation, ABIT Computer today releases the AI7, the first motherboard with intelligent hardware monitoring and overclocking features that can be saved to a micro-processor: μGuru"

"Operating as an independent microprocessor, μGuru effectively frees your CPU resources from performing these functions, further increasing system performance."

I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't the first either. Still, WORLD'S FIRST looks good in marketing material I guess.

As heard on Dragon's Den (or was it just the Time Trumpet takeoff), "Ah've got one of theez in mah houss".

It's an Abit KV8 Third Eye motherboard with the "uGuru" chip and attached LCD widget (the latter part since kaput). It overclocks online automatically at the touch of a button or the click of a mouse.

It's also from 2003 - otherwise notable as about the last time you could buy both an AMD CPU and an ATi graphics card without one of them being a turkey.
