while surfing thru the tigerdirect site
i saw a motherboard and cpu combo.
featuring a AMD Duron 2200 Pro Processor!
turns out the duron 2200 pro is actually
a Duron 850, yep thats right, overclocked
to 2200mhz.
it is warranted by Mercury the manufacturer of the motherboard for 1
year. do you think it would last a year?

here is the link

I've heard about these systems before in a different group. It isn't
actually running at 2200Mhz (and doesn't state that it is, it says
"OverClocked 850MHz Operating @ 2200 PRO Speed"), it's just a bullshit
naming scheme they use. I think they actually run at something like 1Ghz.
