. If I were you (and didn't use a laptop) I'd set up water cooling. Then you could overclock too.
tomshardware , amdzone , overclockers , etc.

Yes, I've seen systems range from about 34 up to 48... I believe AMD claims that they can run up to 70 (not that I would ever let mine go that high. I have an NFS server running a Tyan 2462 with Dual 1700MPs and they run right about 38-40. the box has been very stable and very fast.

Well, what is a main reason for overclocking? Just to brag that you can run e.g. 400MHz CPU at 600MHz? How about performance and stability of the whole system? I don't think that such approach is a good for 24x7 production DB server, unless you just use it to run Quake in your leasure time. Water cooling solution adds an additional significant coast to the coast of the system, which is not always justifiable in our purchasing department. ------------------- pure the
