Strategy

The K75 700-MHz processor represents the first good chance of scaling to 900 MHz with the Athlon architecture. This processor offers an opportunity for overclocking, but only with the introduction of a good forced-air heatsink cooler. Nominal returns with factory cooling are often in the 750 to 800 MHz range, with the best units scaling beyond 900 MHz, given a quality aftermarket cooler.
