New to AMD system. Want to overclock, and need some advise ...

[stso]

Was looking for this motherboard
MSI K7T PRO2-A
and Duron 600MHZ Boxed CPU.
I was wondering how much can I overclock this CPU. I've heard that most people can make it around 900MHZ ... not sure if this is true.
Since I'm new to AMD overclocking, I'll need some advises from you guys. Thanks.

Yeah, some links for overclocking will be useful. Thanks a lot

probably 900 to 1000 is possible.

Is processor unlocked?

Are the l1 bridges cut or connected

Well if you really want to overclock I suggest you should buy an Abit KT7A Mobo... With a fop 32-1 heatsink/Fan and Artic silver... When overclocking, it is not always 100% that you can gain 200 - 300 mhz. It really depends on your CPU, and cooling. Abit boards are great for overclocking because they allow you to do many changes in the bios (multipliers, voltage....) So try getting an Abit KT7a and you'll see a better result in overclocking.

I haven't purchase it yet.
But I have found some good prices on them at
http://www.monarchcomputer.com/
They're selling the cpu/motherboard combo for great price ... come with 3 years warranty too.
Any suggestion on what to buy?
