    core 2 duo @2800MHz.it frequently reduces to around 1600MHZ(due to intel speed step technology)
  2. Yup, I got an good old Core 2 Duo: Q6600. FSB raised to 333 MHz (factory default being 266 MHz). With a 9x Multiplier, that makes for a good 3,0 GHz clock speed. My RAM is suppossed to run at 800 MHz, but a have no idea which divider could make that happen ;)

    Got a quadcore running at 2.83Ghz undervolted to +/-1.05V, but when i need some some raw power i overclock it to 3.4Ghz.Ram is running at 800Mhz , which makes dividers at stock 12:10 and when overclocked 1:1.
    Everything else is stock atm.
  4. AMD K5 PR133: 200MHz. <---well, I had it until about a month ago, wouldn't boot up

    AMD Phenom II x4 810: stock 2.6GHz or 2.61GHz <---My computer.

    AMD Athlon II: 2GHz dual core <---wifes laptop, battery is dying so I figure she can have my desktop and I'll have the pleasure of building another, after I get back from Afghanistan. Maybe we will have holo-decks by then!?

    AMD Turion 64 x2: 2Ghz <---co-workers laptop I am out-processing. Thing loves to overheat.

    Core 2 Duo E4600 overclocked to 2.95. I knew this without looking and she doesn't run ungodly hot like you would imagine!
  6. intel core 2 duo@1.6ghz, acer laptop
     
  7. C2Q Q9650@4.0GHz

  9. amd x2 oc @2525 mhz.
  10. i7 975 at 3.33 ghz

    On my laptop, i5 2410M @ 2.3 Ghz, and turbos to 2.9 Ghz.
    Desktop Phenom x4 955 overclocked to 3.4 Ghz (for funsies).

    Clock speed? Yeah, 3,99(9)Ghz OC. But it doesn't matter; the (very very) cheap mobo's FSB can't handle it. 3DMarkV only adds up to ~2650 points anyway due to bottlenecking.

    Not quite sure, I used to have the proc overclocked to a single frequency, the gain in speed was not that amazing I guess now a days people who overclock is mostly to show off, how many of you are overclocking to gain +2 fps in a game or something like that?

    I left it at stock (I even have an aftermarket cooler) with C&Q on.

    Core-i7 930 - 2.8ghz. One of these days I'll get around to overclocking it.

    I have an i5 2500 (No K... I don't overclock and Z68 wasn't out yet, so I didn't see the point.) As far as the clock frequency, I know the base clock is at 3.3 GHz, but there is a nice feature of either the processor or my ASRock motherboard that I didn't read about before getting them. The CPU ratio is altered dynamically. From what I remember, it tends to hang around 3.4 when under stress, but I've seen it peak at 3.7, though I might have seen it hit 3.8 once... don't remember for sure. Since it balances off heat/stress, the temperature never really gets above 35 C. If I ever want more power, I can always force it up to an even 4.0

    On the other hand, I am much more interested in architecture than Hertz. As for the trend hitting computers, it hit years ago, it just has to develop more. The average computer buyer doesn't care about all the components, they (yes, I'm using the singular 'they' your English teacher was lying to you when they said it is improper) just care that the product does what they want. But that trend doesn't mean component specs won't matter, nerds will always want to learn specs. Advances just mean that we have to think a little bit more than comparing two numbers to see which is higher.

    None of my machines are overclocked, but I'm not 100% sure what the current frequency is on most of them. I have an i7 940, i7 930, i5 2400, Phenom II X4 (not even sure which one without looking it up), a couple of C2Ds and so on. The only one I can remember off hand is that my C2D E8400 is clocked at 3.0 GHz. This is exactly why I made a webpage for my computer parts.
  17. intel mobile Pentium T4300, 2.1 ghz - dual core...i don't really do much so i think its enough for me..it can play L4D 1 & 2 and CoD games so i got nothing to complain about..CPU-Z clocks my processor speed to 2095 mhz, so it's pretty close to the said value..

    i just want to add, i noticed on my old Lenovo laptop (intel mobile Pentium T2390 1.86 ghz - dual core), when running on power saver mode, allows the processor to underclocked at half speeds allowing me to run it at extent of 4hrs..
  18. C2D E6550 2,33 GHz

    E7300 @ 2660MHz overclocked to 3.1GHZ, can't going anything beyond, due to the small stock fan, and inaquedate airflows in my old Enlight EN7237 case.

    Once my pc mod on digital media is completed, everything that was in the EN7237 will be transferred to the digital media, upside down. Hopefully that will helps me with my air flow issues.

    I just can't believe that case manufacturers couldn't be arsed to focus on the air flows issues and design flaws on their cases in earlier than 2005.
