when you say just "1.6"...do you mean the non-northwood socket 478 chip? the non .13 micron chip???

If yes to the above questions...I think you can still get a little out of it, but nowhere near the numbers of a 1.6a northwood...maybe a 12-15 percent max gain...northwoods have been regualrly getting 33-50 percent gains...
 
Dear,
Thank you for you greatly help, actually my is 1.6a, the one with 512 cache, so can you please give me more advice how to deal with that. Thank you again for all your help anh see ya

Well, my 1.6A with stock cooling is running at a cool 2.4 Ghz as I type.

Not alot to do, except to go into your bios and just increment the Front Side Bus frequency until it becomes unstable. At that point, you might want to up your core voltage (also in the bios), until it becomes stable again.

The 1.6A is usually a pretty easy overclock.

 
Go into the memory settings in the BIOS and set the Turbo1 option.

It's basicly like Drakkhen said, go into BIOS and start increasing the FSB until it becomes unstable. I would just go straight to 133 and try it first.(since most will do that easy)
If 133 works ok, go up in increments of 5 after that. Once you find a FSB that is unstable, leave it there and increase the Vcore .25V, try it again. Still unstable, increase another .25V, try again. Still unstable, back down the FSB by 2, do this until it becomes stable again.

It's just my opinion, but I would not take the Vcore over 1.65V.

I was going to suggest for you to update your BIOS, but I was just looking at Asus's website for BIOS updates for the P4B266-C, and all I found was Version 1001, so I'm not sure if that's the same BIOS the boards are shipping with or if it's newer. Watch the screen during boot and see what BIOS version you have.
 


<< Actually it looks like the bios is up to 1006. Go check out the motherboard forum for me help. >>



The Bios is still at 1002 for the P4B266-C. The Bios for the P4B266 is at 1006. These are different boards.
