Future-proof processor for non-overclocker

there are many in this forum theve oced AMD proccys insanely. 3000+ @1.8 to some 2.8 with stock heatsink.
Even if i oc upto 2.8 Ghz, its not the temps that make it unstable. I run a dual core, 2 mem modules, 2Hdds, 2 optical drives, a 7600GT , 8*80mm fans, 4USB devices etc on a Zebronics 400w PSU.
One can oc AMD proccy too insanely if u have a gud ram modules as ram also get oced with CPU for AMD. Orelse ull have to set 333MHZ for ram[but itll run higher than 400 if CPU multiplier is high] and reduce the HTT.

Thanks for the info dude.I appreciate what u have said there.See the thing is...i m not into much into overclocking so i only believe in theoritical part.I gave my stats that i have seen on the web.Well there is a CPU-Z screenshot that shows the P4 to 8GHz.I wonder how this person have done it.I have never overclocked my system because i don't think i need it.
But there is always a curiocity to learn something.
A person who is not a good player but he is an excellent coach.

hey but not all the X2's oc the same.i had a X2 3800+ and no matter wat i tried it wudnt oc beyond 2.6GHz.only twice did i manage to hit 2.8GHz but it wasnt stable at full load and used to heat up very much.
now i'm using a E4300 and i've oc'd it to 3.5GHz with ease though i run it @ 3GHz.

YEah u r right thats the difference between 90nm & 65nm Fab.But still the C2Duo is a better overclocker.U know that 8Ghz processor was using LN2.Also GAINWARD used 2 7800GTX in SLI & used LN2 & scored 18000 in 3D mark 05 almost 2 years back.
