Yeah, we’ve seen other mad scientists take way more antiquated chips to higher figures on the GHz scale, but can that cyogenically cooled P4 handle all those SSE4.1 instructions? The latest feat of overclocking prowess comes to us courtesy of FUGGER, who has apparently taken Skulltrail beyond the 6GHz mark. You’ll also notice the 1,716MHz FSB (!!!) and the fact that it’s sizzling along at 1.953-volts — but hey, no one said running Crysis would be easy, right?

Have an Eee PC? Did your friend’s overclocked OLPC get you thinking about just how much more horsepower you can eke out of that little beast? Say no more — with a little hackery you too can join the 900MHz+ Eeelite with your ASUS cheaptop. Looks like there are apps for both Windows and Linux to get the job done, just don’t come crying to us about melted legs or — worse still — a busted computer.
