I am running the ADZ here on the servers.  I overclock them to 40mhz,
running them at 160 MHz instead of 133 MHz.

Eats a P100 in most tests, but requires the systems to have heat
sink/fans.  they get too hot for my liking without the fan (just the
heat sink) even at 133.  

Even at 160 tho, they are rock stable, run cool (with a good
fan/heatsink), and SPEEDS...

Yeah.  I'm one of those "the cooler the better" people.  heat grease,
fast fans and big heat sinks are my friends :)
