Some things to consider for big Ghz
If you're gonna have a CPU that is more than 4Ghz (5-6Ghz), than you should maybe put custom (higher capacity) voltage capacitors-etc. on your motherboard to not fry (or blow) it. Also, you would need a BEEFY power supply for maximum overclocking (maybe 550-600 watts to not worry?).

Why?
That's the day when I'll have 6 hardrives (with controller cards) DUAL CPU's at 6Ghz each, a PCIe 512MB video card, and 4 gigs of RAM for video editing (HUGE OVERCLOCKING with a big time water/anti-freeze cooling system, a BIG F****** 48" digital flat plasma computer monitor plugged into the power supply), platinum 7.1 surround sound card, TV Tuner Card, Gigabit Ethernet card, 1 DVD/combo +- burning drive, CD-RW drive, CD-Rom drive, 1 3.5" floppy drive, ENOUGH CASE LIGHTS TO HEAT UP AND LIGHT THE ENTIRE OFFICE IN THE DARK WINTER OF NEBRASKA, and 6 8cm fans in a BIG TOWER CASE ...... 
LOL

Praetor said:A lot of people get stuck in "high wattage"-land
IT's usually crap rails that make people think they need a bigger PSU. "i jsut got this off-brand 500watter PSU cuz it was on sale for $50. It reboots my computer sometimes, especially in games. Do i need a 600watt?" i think 450watts is plenty, unless you are running multiple HD's, cd-burners, water-cooling, anything like a server. I'd rather just get 2*350watters with stable rails, than one overpriced 600watter.

Even more is possible
Diamond processors in the future will be so powerful that silicon will melt.
Read this article that tells all about makers and manufacturing:
http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.09/diamond.html
Hmmm...6Ghz? Bah, more like 18 or 19 Ghz by the time we use real diamonds in the future. Hey, who said you couldn't have "bling-blingin' processors for CHEAP?
(Hey, why not dual cores too?) Hmm...
Quote: "No, they're real," I tell him. "But they were made by a machine in Florida for less than a hundred dollars."
picture: (A microwave plasma tool at the Naval Research Lab, used to create diamonds for high-temperature semiconductor experiments.)
Weingarten shifts uncomfortably in his chair and stares at the glittering gems on his dining room table. "Unless they can be detected," he says, "these stones will bankrupt the industry."
Put pure carbon under enough heat and pressure - say, 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit and 50,000 atmospheres - and it will crystallize into the hardest material known.
