    Those AMD guys really get it...
    Make your chip easy to overclock, hell even put an overclock port on it.
    Then no one will make any money remarking chips, and the few tweakaziods
    out there will love you. Over clockers are a minority, number-wise, buy
    they
    influence lot of others, if they like your chip, you sell more to everyone else...
    The geeks bitched about the CPU Serial number, AMD didnt put it in.
