Ok, I will admit it, 2.0GHz was not enough for me. I needed a faster CPU. So about an hour ago, I started doing my high-end overclocking. I first set the multiplier to 8X. Then I set the FSB to 220MHz. Didn't work. Tried again at 219MHz. Perfect! Then I raised the multiplier 0.5 at a time till I got to 9.5X. 10X crashed on me. You are most likely wondering by now how my Corsair Value RAM is running at 438MHz. Don't worry, I set it to be 83% of my CPU's FSB, or 364MHz. That was the closest setting to 100%.

Oh, by the way, this is an Athlon XP 1800 T-Bred B that I am overclocking, making this a 36% overclock.

3DMark03 from 2.00GHz : 1454
3DMark03 from 2.08GHz : 1539

SiSoftware Sandra from 2.08GHz : Dhrystone ALU 8596 MIPS, Whetstone FPU 3273 MFLOPS

CPUBench2003 from 2.08GHz : 6673 CPUMarks

Wow, you did all of this for 80 mhz, wow, you must be desperate

This is also a 65% FSB overclock from the standard.
I mainly did this for a FSB overclock.
As you can see, my gaming scores really liked it.

It really dosent matter about the scores... You really wont feel the performance difference

I think I can feel a 36% Clock Increase and a 65% FSB Increase.

no you can't.. trust me I have had more overclocking experinces than you have

Well, games seem pretty slow at 1.53GHz with a 266MHz FSB.
They are much quicker at 2.08GHz with a 438MHz FSB.

Trust me, I have had more experience with overclocking.
I went from a Pentium 4 1.8GHz to a Pentium 4 3.2GHz.
I think this is a very noticable overclock.

You said 2.0 to 2.08 didn't you?

My original spec was an Athlon XP 1800.
I just decided to reach its full potential.

In fact, my CPU is faster than our Athlon 64 2800.

Since when did you get a 64?

At the beginning of Septemeber.
