Ya, with liquid nitrogen cooling. :-)
That doesn't really count though. If you've got those kinds of 
resources--screw Athlons, get an 8-way P3 Xeon 4MB system or the like.

1500MHz is with normal cooling and often without even upping voltage.
Hmm, if you can do that you can probably up the voltage by .2 or so and run 
at 1700 or 1800. Your CPU might be as hot as the surface of the sun, but 
hey, buildworlds would be quick.
