My new rig, what can i expect to o/c it 2?

[JaFF]

Ok only a couple new parts:
P4 2.4(b) 533
ASUS P4PE (not sata version)
GF3 Ti 200
256 DDR Corsair XMS 3200 2.5CAS
80gig Seagate
Volcano 7+ HSF

I think thats all you need to know. What you think I could hit?
Also, what sort of 3dMark could I get with the GF3?

I am thinking 2.8 to 2.9ghz, with maybe a rare 3ghz....

With the asus mobo it is 3:4 ratio right??? I think 2.9ghz is about the limit you may be able to use the 3:4 ratio anyways and have 400+mhz ddr....


I am personally going to sit on my 1.6a since I have 166+fsb and wait for the GB dual channel ddr mobos...The higher the fsb the better since they appear to only have 1:1 ratio and I want a minimum of dual channel pc2700 cas2,6,2,2....

Intel Granite bay only supports up to PC2100 DDR RAM, Sis and Via Dual Channel DDR chipsets will support up to PC2700 DDR RAM.

unofficially my illinformed one!!!

Kind of like how I can run 440mhz ddr on an i845d mobo that officially has only pc2100 support!!! I guess I needed to wait for the new PE mobos, right???

Check out www.hardocp.com as the main guy there is the run who tested it out...Also since 1:1 ratio is only available it is true and you can see it likely wont be official pc2700 support until 166fsb prescott chips may arrive. However high fsb overclockers like myself with the lowq multiplier chips can most likely do it now. www.hardocp.com did it cause he has an unlocked sample chip...

I agree with all of this, but many consumers pay big $$$ for their computers and absolutely refuse to operate their computers out of spec. I don't know, maybe they believe the computer is going to burst into flames or something.

Very true...However I consider most here as being in the more tech savvy area...Don't you??? I only care abut how I and others here will use it.

Hmm...

Shoulda waited for the C1 Stepping 2.4B's, I'm sure they will perform and overclock much better then the high end B0's stepping CPU's.

You from the states right? I reckoned some CAS 2 3200's or some 3500's woulda done better? It will help a lot since the PE chipsets have a 3:5 Divider

Other then that nice system

I'd say about 11k 3dmarks depending on how hard you overclock
