I have two systems I want to overclock and need some help as to picking possible target speeds.
System #1 is my XP Pro system:
XP 2000+ retail chip(brand new) with Alpha PAL8045 heatsink and a 80mm Panaflow fan.
Mobo is a Soyo Dragon+ (KT266A) with 768MB Crucial PC2100 DDR RAM.
Case is a Cheiftec server case with 5 80mm Panaflow fans and a Antec TruePower 380W PS.
Video card is a retail ATI 8500 AGP card.
Hard drive is an IBM 120GXP 80GB ATA100 and 7200RPM.
Other items are a DVD and CDRW, sound and NIC are built into mobo.
System #2 is my Win98SE system:
XP 1600+ retail chip(used 6 months at normal speed) with the heatsink/fan from the XP2000+.
Mobo is a Asus A7A266 (Ali M1647) with 256MB Generic Bestbuy PC2100 DDR RAM.
Case is a Fong Kia FK-320 with one 120mm Panaflow entrance fan and a 90mm Panaflow exit fan, generic 300W PS.
Video card is a Visiontek GeForce2 GTS AGP.
Hard drive is a WD 30GB ATA100 and 7200PRM.
Other items are a DVD/CDRW combo drive, a NIC card, and a cheap sound card.
Both systems used Artic Silver for their thermal paste. I am not about to play with the chips and unlock them, so the only overclocking I plan to do it up'ing the FSB. I also don't know which versions of the chips I have, but I can find that out if it will make a difference. I have heard I can take the XP2000+ from 1.67MHZ to 1.76 MHz by up'ing the FSB to 141. That a good target, go higher, go lower? As for the 1600+, where can I take it? I do want to overclock, but don't want to risk too much, so don't want to push it too far. Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance...
