NOOOOOOOOOooooooOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo!

I want my 0.0000001 micron Athlon XXXP 17,000,000+!

 

[PT]

Yeah, me too, only problem is fury, it will require a 3 ton heatsink with a 4,000,000 cubic feet per second fan blowing on it constantly to keep it under 200 C.

Nitrogen cooled CPU's...there's nothing weird about that, isn't it, PT?

 

[PT]

I don't see a problem with it.

 

[Shadowfax]

Neither do I....problem solved. fury can have his CPU

and he will also need a nuclear plant to feed power to that beast.
