    Aside from K|N (since it sounds like they overclock the OCZ for you), if you order a X9100 or QX9300 processor and overclock it, does that void your warranty?

    How many people have purchased extended one or two-year warranties? At ~$60/$100, it seems like it would be a good investment. What do you think, good or bad move?

    The only vendor of the Whitebook that has it voided/has the multipliers locked would be Alienware.
