Definitely. I've seen it happen with several different machines I've
owned in the past. And I've made it happen by overclocking GPUs - natch!

Good to hear. I'm trying to get as much life out of my 2008 Mac Pro as I
can before I eBay it and get a new one - hopefully after Apple makes
some revisions to the model. I'm still very satisfied with the speed of
this machine. I just wish it didn't consume so much energy and double as
a heater in the summers. : )
