I have the parts up there, w/ some Generic PC100 RAM, Radeon AIW 32mb DDR AGP, a kingston network card, sound blaster live! , and a maxtor UATA/100 Controller card connected to the Motherboard...

What are the optimal settings, voltage, multiplier, AGP ratio, PCI ratio for this badboy?

The only cooling I have is the stock cooling from Intel, and w/ the case open...

trying to hit at least 650, 700 would be great.

Thanks

A Katmai by definition cannot be a 550E. Just a 550.

Unfortunately, they don't overclock very far, as just over 600MHz is the limit for Katmai processors even if you increase the voltage and add very good cooling. You should be able to get to 616MHz (5.5 x 112) without too much difficulty though.

Leave at default voltage. Mutliplier is locked and cannot be changed. AGP ratio should be 2/3. PCI ratio should be 1/3.
