You Say You've only OC'd it a little, I should think so only putting it up only 0.18mhz TBH Alienware isnt the best of all cases for OC'ing anyway so i wouldnt bother unless you want to fry an Egg on it http://www.phys.ncku.edu.tw/~htsu/humor/fry_egg.html Between AMD and Intel Its all About Personal Preference but AMD are more stuiable for OC'ing.
actually as it is right now AMD procs aer easier to OC due to their the HTT bus receiving less of a performance hit for running ona divider, but typically intel products can OC a little bit better, unless you go low end on an AMD prodcut as I did, percentage wise your OC will typically go to intel and personal preference is bullshid, netburst is 5 years obsolete... being that ti was outperformed by the PIIIs when it came out... that it was outperformed by the old K7s most of the time during the first half of their life span, and that they were outperformed by the Pentium Ms and the K8s for the last few years... if you actually read that... they were obsolete the day they came out... because previous technology was better suited.
Hmm...I'll have to do a frame rate test when I get home. Other than that, your frame rates for F.E.A.R. is pretty awesome.
