buildin new system

[Smokey0066]

okay i'm thinkin about gettin a tbird 700-1gig. dunno yet depending on cash flow but how are the sucess rates on ocin these.. is it worth it to wait for the DDR boards.. i dont have a ton to blow but i just need a board n chip. what kinda chip should i be lookin at for best bang for buck?.

on a side note my buddy just got a tbird 650 slot A with some generic mobo. i went over to check it out. how do you oc it. no settings in bios. does he need something like a goldfinger device?

Thanks for help

Overclocking success rates depends on chance.
For overclocking an Athlon Classic, look up here.

his buddy got a thunderbird.

Smokey0066, any dipswitches on the board itself?
