Video Challenge Finals Part 2: Maximizing the Core 2 Duo

This is part 2, where I cover overclocking and getting the most out of a Core 2 Duo Extreme.

I tried to keep it short, cause its very easy to make a hardware video over 30 minutes long just going too in depth....of course, its not easy to make it interesting and in depth, hehe. Ends up sounding like an electronics lecture.

Anyway, I tried to keep it short, sweet, to the point, and most of all entertaining.

Thanks for voting and thanks for looking!

» Nice
There's a TON more you could say... but does anyone really want to watch a 30 minute video? Obviously, you glossed over a lot of areas, but you did hit the important stuff. Prices have dropped on similar components now, but the bottom line is that people should probably try to keep all of their components on a similar level for optimal performance. Of course, for gaming you can just go out and grab the cheapest dual core CPU you can find, overclock it as far as it will go, and throw in a high-end GPU. CPUs are rarely the bottleneck in games.

I suppose you win the contest by default? Over two weeks since the "finals" started (never mind the several month delay) and still no competing posts. Go Yoda - much talent you have!

Hooray for the return of humor. Nicely done. I like how you weren't afraid to point out the weaker parts of the system that was given to you. It was a good length too.
