Strategy

The Athlon K75 950-MHz processor typifies the tradeoffs inherent at the upper limits of the K75 core. Overclocking potential usually falls in the 1000 to 1050 MHz range with traditional cooling. Radical cooling and heavy tweaking can sometimes yield more than 1100 MHz, but the costs involved in reaching such a goal are often prohibitive.
