Err, why would CPU prices all need to be the same then? To overclock your CPU to 4 or 5GHZ you need some serious HSF, watercooling or even a phase changer. The cost of these things probably amount to the CPU's final stock price at this clock speed.

First of all, that's besides the point.  The point is that it doesn't come like that stock, nor does a window on most drives.
Secondly, for some Intel procs, you'll only need a regular ol' heatsink to get it to 4GHz.

4GHz doesn't mean much to me when it comes from an Intel processor. I use an Athlon64 running at 2.0Ghz, and I find that it beats my friend's 3Ghz P4 at many things, especially gaming. He has double the amount of RAM I have, too.

Anyway, back on topic.

The 4GHz was only an example.  It really had nothing to do with this other than saying that it isn't stock speed.

Well, I can't say for sure.  But, that's just my speculation, from what we get now.

There will always be stuff like phase-change and watercooling, which won't be used as stock, at least not for many more years.  So, we'll able to get a bit more out of all of them.

No, they don't. Unless they want to ruin their drive.
