| that it will allow its users to better overclock their systems. Apparently,
| Intel will now give its users the necessary tools that will enable them to
| improve their system's overall performance, by tweaking and overclocking the
| central processing unit. Still, one thing that users shouldn't expect from
| Intel is to provide warranty support if something goes wrong.
