    This post will probably be better answered in the Gateway forums.

    But don't go post there now; cross posting is against forum rules. Ask a mod to move this thread.

    Nope, we;re limited to the extreme CPU's (x7800 and x9000) and then we're limited to 3.0gHz on the overclock.

    All of out board is locked in "trusted" mode (basically we're pretty well screwed for overclocking)

    True, But your already running at 3.06 so no worries. The only people it hurts are the people trying to put the previous generation CPU's in it.

    Now if gateway would allow large overclocks then that would be something. I'm wanting 3.4 or 3.6. I'm pretty sure i can get 3.4...but 3.6 might catch my rig on fire :p still worth a try though.
