    4ghz that's nice, I only have mine at 3.2ghz on air, but I did not really press it.

    I'm quite happy with mine running at 3Ghz, 20% overclocked, I think that a Phenom Quad core will be next on the CPU Upgrade list, But I want a monitor and hard drive first, hello Mr Xmass that was a hint ;)

    I think I have swine flu :p

    LOL if you have swine flu DO NOT GO TO YOUR DOCTORS, DO NOT GO TO YOUR LOCAL PHARMACY FOR FLU MEDICINES, GO HOME AND PHONE THE NHS HELP LINE.

    if you would like more help or advice then here is the link

    Swine flu - Introduction

    but this bit really makes me laugh

    Personally I would advise you to Update your Antivirus Software and run a full scan, this will solve your virus problem, but I think to get your temperature and voltages you will have to flash your Bois or look in the right place.

    "Cough" Damn it is contagious "cough"

    There is nowhere on the BIOS to show voltages and BIOS has been flashed ;)

    As for the Swine flu, thats passed, I'm now into Fresher's Flu :)
