The gang at Aces Hardware wants to tell you everything about overclocking socket A processors. And who are we to stand in their way? Gop here (http://www.aceshardware.com/Spades/read.php?article_id=20000178) for the low-down on the more affordable end of the market.
More educational stuff, this time from Sharky. This is all about installing an IDE hard drive with a useful pre-install checklist to make sure you forget nothing before you start replacing bits of kit.
