New to overclocking...some help???

I'm planning on purchasing a new computer in the next couple of weeks and was planning on overclocking it. Can someone give me their opinion as to, hands down, the best overclockable cpu to get. And maybe the best price/performance ratio. Any help would be great. THANKS!
 
get the Abit NF7-S Rev 2.0 and the Athlon XP 1700+ T-Bred B DLT3C................mine hit 2.5GHz😀
 
Nice OC bgey! I think a DLT (1.5vcore) should go to 2.0ghz with good air cooling. Over 2.0ghz on air might be pushing it in summer room temps. Recommend a nice HSF (such as SK-7) and some quiet fans (80mm vantec stealth).
 
Totally recommend 1700+ T-bred B...However it took my 3 times to get a B....But now mine hits 2.12 ghz easy at 32 C w/ a vantec aeroflow HSF
