I�m not sure if I like the idea though.

The only thing i can think of is 3D rendering/animation etc, but when we do get up to the 10ghz+ mark imagine what the games graphics would be like! Ohhh!

You can overclock to a point, but no where hear 6 gigahertz.
I have a 3.0 ghz and its overclocked at 3.4, I could probably put it to 3.6 or so, but then I would need to turn my fans up, since it would produce more heat. The more you clock it up, the more unstable your system gets.
Murc you are wrong and here is the proof!
The cooling is LN2 ie Liquid Nitrogen.
