Is the Gigabyte 8irxp a good beginner o'clocker?

[jpetermann]

I am wanting to get this board and start to dabble in the overclocking a little. From what I have seen on some of these forums is that this board is a great o'clocking board. But how easy is it to do? I don't want to fry anything. And this would be my first Pentium chip. I have used AMD to this point, but I would like to try something new. I LOVE Gigabyte boards, and this 8irxp looks like a winner. I was going to get a P4 1.8 or 2.0 unless there other suggestions. SO... help me out here.

Thanks!
PJ

I have this board and it is super easy to overclock, it has software with it called EASY TUNE that makes it very easy to find the sweet spot on your P4 without having to reboot each time , once you found where your stability and performance peak then you can take those settings from EASY TUNE and put them into your BIOS and super fine tune it from there. The board has Voltage adjustments on memory, cpu, and agp plus is very easy to use in the BIOS . Good Luck
