INTEL Northwood 2.53
No HYPERTHREADING
stock:133x4=533

ASUS P4P800 Deluxe
Zalman 7000CU with AS5
OCZ PLATNIUM REV2 TCCD
ANTEC NEOPOWER

I raised the FSB from 133 to 155
Voltage is stock at 1.525
IDILS right now at 36C

Questions:
The RAM is at "AUTO" right now but there is a selection of 266 & 333
When I set the Voltage from "AUTO" to 1.525 back to stock
CPU-Z reads it as 1.58

When I got this board(used) it was loaded with a beta bios... should I flash it back to the latest offical driver?

I would flash it to the latest official driver. It will probably run more stable, but I don't know if it will affect the CPU-Z reading. Either way, it is good to have the latest official BIOS/driver/whateveryouwanttocallit.

Can Intel even overclock??? :confused:

Lol. Look at the motherboards section of the main page.

If your cooling is good, you should be able to lock that memory at 333 which is 166x2. Set your FSB to 166 and lock your AGP bus at 66 in the bios. Give the chip a small boost in voltage and enjoy, you should hit 3Gs easy with that chip. I have been OCing Intels since the days of 133Mhz. Yes really 133Mhz. I am currently running this as my setup soon to be upgraded

P4 3.4 Presscott at 236FSB for 4Ghz. FSB is at 1:1 with 2GB of Mushkin LVLII at 2-2-2-5 at 3.2V on an Abit AG8 915P chipset motherboard and an ATI 850XT with AC5 installed.

This is with a minor bump in Vcore to the CPU and I am very comfortable that it will not hurt a thing.

I have in the past had a 1.6A that was running at 2.4 that eventually went dead on me but that chip was awesome for its time. I loved that intel chip and now this one too :)
