My retail XP 1700+ ($63) post at 166 fsb x 12.5 = 2.083 GHz w/ my Epox 8RDA+ motherboard w/ 512mb pc2700 Samsung ram. 0302 Thoroughbred B. I am using the retail HS&F. I haven't finished loading my OS yet, hopefully the computer will be stable at that speed.

The JIUHB 0302 chip is known as an excellent overclocker. You *should* have no trouble getting that to run 2ghz and beyond with good RAM, good motherboard and a decent HSF. I have not heard any results on the 0307 chip, that's brand new, so there isn't much info available.

How well the does the 0302 overclock? It's $2.50 cheaper so.....yeah.
