Why spend so much money on an Intel Extreme Chip?
My take on it is to wait like 6 months for the price to dramatically drop from its awe inspiring price tag level at the moment. The prices are double or triple the cost of buying one top end non Extreme microprocessor. Do you want to pay so much money for a performance that you can acquire by over-clocking your non-extreme chips? Be smart, save money for other things. Acquire over clocking knowledge rather than splurging your hard earned money. Besides, as an avid gamer, you will probably be over clocking your pc.
