OK I have noticed that I can overclock my P3-800e CPU real nice to 936 MHZ (117 FSB) with no need to go over 1.65 Volts. The thing is that aren't I supposed to increase the voltage. I mean maybe now it does not crash or when I play games but could there be times that it will require more power. In theory I know I am reducing the lifespan of the CPU by increasing the voltage... but what is worse... just O/C it or increasing the voltage or both. If all I do is O/C the CPU all I am doing is pusing power faster through the CPU and if I increase the voltage I am sending MORE power through the CPU. Since I paid a mint for that sucker and you hear all the horror stories... how long do I expect to keep this CPU before I smell burning plastic and metal in my room. Anyone actually burn a CPU or mobo connector here from O/Cing??
Also what the heck is HSDRAM? Is that only for AMD Athlons boards or Intel boards and P3's as well. I take it's a faster version of SDRAM!! How much faster is it?
thanks
