But thats exactly my point, compaq will seel only what the majority of people want. If watercooling was mainstream and safe then AMD and INTEL would be able to get very easily to high speeds, they can do them now but only with high temperatures, if this wasn't a problem well they would have a field day releasing 5Ghz chips in the next few months INtel are planning 5Ghz for 1.5 years from now anyway(they could be here now). If heat wasn't a problem the chips would be twice as big, twice as fast, it really is this simple. At the moment speed increase is slow as new size core has to be implemented to keep heat low. For instance imagine in the new Northwood was standard everywhere with watercooling and twice the size. We're talking 4.4Ghz easy no overclocking. They would have twice the output of watts but watercooling can deal. This is serious and not exagerated.
