Depends; how much money you wanna spend? I hear a Promentia kit can do wonders for CPU speed.

the highest fsb i've ever been able to get on my 8iexp was 155...using the 2.0 ratio...but then my memory won't even run higher than 300mhz on this board...its not too great a board for overclocking...only officially supports 266DDR so the 2.6 ratio is pretty much worseless for me :(

It's a good board, I've had it running at 175MHz with an air cooled CPU.
