Dell’s Smokin’!

Looks like Dell overestimated how many way-overclockable Intel QX6800 Extreme processors it could get its hands one, and is therefore dropping its "Bin+3" version of the XPS 720H2C. Instead of overclocking from 2.93GHz to a (truly) blistering 3.73GHz, they’ll limit things to 3.46GHz. Hardcore gamers are likely a little bummed, but no impact on the typical user is anticipated. Microsoft Word will still write your novel faster than you can think of it.
