Someone eariler posted sweet overclocking results for the Core Duo (Yonah) Chip at 3.8 GHZ, which shows a lot of excitement and impressiveness. This article I just found and read would shock you and it is very very true. No jokes, gags or any other tricks to it.
The folks at Tom's Hardware has successfully overclocked the unpopular, 90nm, overheating, shitty slow, Smithfield, watered-down, Pentium D 805, from its 2.66 GHZ, 533 MHZ FSB, 1 MB L1 Cache, Cheap, $130 Dual-Core to becoming a stable 4.1 GHZ, barely needing Water Cooling, 51% performance boost, crushing the AMD Opteron 144, FX-60 and even Intel's EE 965 into dust in terms of performance, power house.
This is Intel's secret overclocking weapon, placed right in a not popular, cheap, old, and water down dual core, able to crush the latest top-of-the-line chips in the market, for only pennies from the pocket. As the upcoming Conroe is coming soon, this is the start from Intel to show their power back to people right now as the leading chip maker and even a clever and powerful way to end the Pentium legacy and power. So read up and comment this unbelievable overclocking escapade!

EDIT: Bear in mind, in order to get such results, you need a good mobo (they mention three ASUS ones and Two GIGABYTE onces in the article) that can handle such VCore watt output and even this amount of overclocking (The top ASUS board they recommend currently in the US is only around 200 dollars on NewEgg). Also bear in mind to grab a 1 GB to 2 on DDR2 800MHZ SDRAM to ultilize the ultimate results (NewEgg sells them for 160 for 1 GB). Still very cheap compare to other upgrades I have seen... For more details, read the article...
