Submitted by hitbsecnews on Fri, 2005-10-07 17:34

A very good overclocker on its own - provided you have an equally good cooler, it will keep many overclockers awaken for some time to come.

Get ready for thunder and lightning, because this battle could be of epic proportions. AMD has filed a 48-page suit in U.S. District Court in Delaware alleging that Intel has used a monopoly in the chip market to coerce and bribe PC manufacturers in order to prevent potential customers from working with AMD. While many are thinking "this is news?", AMD's laundry list of complaints paints a picture of a conniving, law-breaking Intel that will stop at nothing to keep AMD out of a fair race.
