Heheh Hals, well I'd be overclocking the 1.6 not the 1.7... and 1.7 is slooowwwwww

I'm a computer extremist I guess you could say, I like to push my systems to their limits and I've gotten to a point where my systems just can't keep up with what I want to do. Gaming is a big area of this, some of the newer games just dont quite run like I would like.

I would normally just build a new computer at this point (Surpisingly these two systems have lasted me a little over 3 years now, that is a very long time for me hehe). These were both nearly the best thing you could get when I got them, so right now I'm drooling over the P4 3.6s and 3.8s... or even better would be the 3.4 Exteme. But theres one problem right now that I didn't have as much so in the past, money (I had no bills then lol). So the only option for increased perfomance with little or no money is overclocking

Like I said in my first post, if I push my Asus board to its limits I could get an AMD 2600+ (2.1Ghz) and up to 3Gbs of PC 2700. Even if I did that though I would still want to overclock the 2600.. lets face it 1.6 ghz to 2.1 ghz isn't going to be a whole lot of diff, but if I overclocked it to say a 2.8 (the highest I've read of overclocking a 2600 to)... thats a huge jump in speed.

If nothing else reconfiguring my systems and changing stuff up like this will keep me unbored for a day or two

But thanks for the overclockers.com reference dglienna, been over there reading for the past hour or two and have learned a lot hehe. Pretty much understand what I have to do to overclock the anthlon, now to just get off work in 25 minutes and go home and do it
