But most people are happy with what they have.  Sure I have my Pentium 
Dual Core overclocked but it's running Windows.  When I overclocked it 
under Ubuntu it would default back to the usual speed (I had the same on 
my Phenom X4).  I hear the Phenom II is a good overclocker but out of 
most of the people I know they're happy with stock speeds.
