Chuckie It depends on whether you're going to get a GFD or not. If not, the most you're likely going to get is around 770(7.0x110). With a GFD, there's no telling. I would guess atleast 850-900. But you'd need to up the voltage a bit. If you're going to do straight FSB overclocking, you shouldn't need to up the voltage since you're not going to get much extra speed out of it.

In England a GFD (Freespeed Pro) costs £30. A Duron 650 will cost~£50. Since the Duron requires a new mobo, I think it possible and cost effective to bridge the gap with a goldfinger device. Like, I EXPECT my 600 will go to 750 and I HOPE to 800. I figure such a CPU will go to 2003 OK, but maybe I should pick up 256Mb memory till then.
Remember that those Athlons cost quite a lot more than Durons do now... not easy to kiss that investment goodbye...

i got my athlon classic 750@863 at 1.75 volts. i can hit 945 at 1.95 but runs to hot for air cooling! =) need a peltier or something else.

Slot A tbird, 700@1 gig!!!!!!!!! i ran it at 900 at 1.6 volts, which is below default (rock solid) but i like seeing 3 zero's =D

Some of you guys really need to invest in a GFD. It makes overclocking that much easier. ;)
