Overclocking Yourself

At Tom’s Hardware Guide is a nice article on overclocking yourself!

As IT professionals, we all appreciate the value of optimized hardware, the best, tweaked software, and the cleanest code. When a computer is slow, we inject it with a new lease on life by giving it more RAM or a better graphics card, or perhaps by overclocking the processor a bit. All that is great for the computer – but what happens then to us poor professionals, who have to slave from early morning until late in the night on these energetic beasts?

There comes a point in every programmer’s life when the strings and tags no longer make sense, the eyes feel heavy and the fingers numb upon the keyboard. We here at THG appreciate how the daily wear and tear takes its toll on the human body. Just as we believe that with enough liquid nitrogen anyone can go to 6 GHz and beyond, we believe that you too can be given an energy boost to take you through those long crunch nights. You know, the ones when the spit has hit the fan, you’re a day off deadline and have to go hunting for a single tiny bug in 100,000 lines of code?
