Yeah, overclocking just means that you're pushing your hardware a bit harder than it is sold as. The trick is getting your overclocked hardware to run with good stability. The main, and probably most important, problem to overcome is the cooling solution. The last thing you want is to fire up your newly overclocked FX-57 and for it to suddenly start smouldering and 'pop'!

As for the 240pin RAM and motherboard, that's all down to personal choice. I wouldn't personally as the RAM is a lot more expensive and also I haven't seen a board that will accomodate an AMD chip. They all seem to be Intel based and that ain't good, IMHO that is.

it all depends on the manufacturer.

in one of the pcs here is a video card with a simple warning of if you OC this card you void the warrenty and we can check if you did.

the other pc video card came with roadrunner (a nice OC utility ) included on the drivers cd and they ask you to be carefull and give a flat 3 year warranty
