AMD is on a roll. Clock speed for clock speed, their Thunderbird processor is faster and less expensive than Intel's Pentium III. While Intel has trouble making their Pentium stable at 1000Mhz, AMD has their CPU running 200Mhz faster. And just like the Intel counterpart, the AMD CPUs are just as overclockable, with many Durons 700 and Thunder 750 able to run at 1000Mhz.
Since many sites have done articles on overclocking the slower speed CPUs, I figure it would be fun to take AMD's top of the line CPU and overclock the hell out of it. Thanks to The Over Clockerz Store for supplying the 1200Mhz T Bird for this little fun fest. To give the CPU its best chance of surviving this ordeal, I ordered up my favorite AMD cooler, the Alpha PAL6035.
