First allow me to give you some background on my motives with respect to overclocking. I am a speed freak. I intend to push my hardware as far as it will go without damage to the components.
Some people are value freaks.
They want the most horsepower for their buck and are concerned about cost. While cost is an issue sometimes for me, I just want to push the envelope within a reasonable budget. I went through no less than 4 CPUs to find the right one. There are many resources on the net for finding overclockable CPUs.
