The joy of a Windows-based PC is that you're free to fiddle around with the hardware as much as you want – something Enspire has taken advantage of with its latest creation. Pacstar submitted our first quad-core Core 2 Extreme QX6700 PC, but that runs the stock speed of 2.66GHz. Enspire has taken the same CPU and pushed it to run at Pentium 4-like clock speeds – resulting in a massive 3.73GHz. No prizes for guessing that this is the fastest PC we've ever seen, with scores like 3.36 for our stressful multitasking test. This PC is, in demonstrable terms, up to three times faster than a top-end PC of a year ago. Granted, it costs about three times as much, but this is performance the likes of which we won't see for some time from off-the-shelf systems. This is, of course, the main point of overclocking: to get something now that you'd otherwise have to wait a long time for.It's beautifully made, too.

Dodge launches two new contests to win cars
We'll be honest, we'd be much more inclined to drive a brand new vehicle if it were free, which is why we always give these little games and contests at least one shot. Dodge announced two new contests today, the grand prizes of which are a Dodge Ram 1500 and Dodge Avenger sedan. The first is called the Dodge Ram Rock'em Sock'em Challenge (Official Rules), which is obviously inspired by those Ram commercials in which the Dodge truck socks the block off of its toy challenger. In the game, you have to hit your arrow keys in a particular sequence, which correspond to punches on the screen. If you pop the noggin of your competitor fast enough, you'll be entered in the Tier 1 Heavyweight prize division for a chance to win a Ram of our own.The second contest is called the Dodge Avenger – Avenge Your Commute.

Province files insider trading complaint against former FPI executive
ST. JOHN'S, N.L. (CP) - The Newfoundland and Labrador government has launched an insider trading complaint about the sale of stock in seafood company FPI Ltd. (TSX:FPL) by former director George Armoyan.
A spokeswoman with the government's Fisheries Department says the province has asked security regulators to investigate a massive selloff of stocks by Armoyan, who resigned from the company's board of directors last month just as FPI was negotiating a sale of its assets.
Lori Lee Oates says the government launched the complaint after it noticed the company's stock price jump in late March and early April. It is illegal to trade in stocks based on information that has not been made public.
Last month, Armoyan's company Clarke Inc. (TSX:CKI) announced it had reaped $12 million in investment gains, before taxes, nearly half of which was from the sale of its shares in FPI.
