Was wondering that myself to be honest. I think the era of OC'ing was around 2003-2005. Think it died right after there.

Oh those were the days, trying to get 9800s and 2500XPs beyond their stock clocks. [thumbup]. Now I think it's more to do with media and entertainment and compactness.

I remember overclocking my GeForce2 MX in... 2001? I think serious oc'ing started a bit earlier. I wonder how big a parralel there is between overclocking becoming more popular, and the release of 3DMark2000 and 2001.
