Back just before the millenium my local college lost about 30 or so brand new computers cos' of a virus that overwrote their flash Bios'es with random gibberish. Said Bios chips were soldered directly to the motherboard so they couldn't even be easily replaced. I heard about the HD destroyer too - it was supposed to be something to do with setting up a vibration in the drive heads that destroyed the slipstream layer the head rides on. Nobody I know has ever _actually_ seen it happen tho.

There are many CPU's out there that can be overclocked in software. The PowerPC 750 (aka G3) cpu using in Apple computers is one of them. And I doubt anyone will try to argue that OCing can kill the cpu. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
