I bought recently a Pentium M 780 that I overclocked to 2.6GHz using the 5:4 FSB ratio (FSB is running at 612MHz), I'm using the hard

to find Asus CT-479 adapter to use my current Asus mobo. For some reason I had to increase the V core greatly to make the

overclocking stable (From 1.388v to 1.6v) Seems high but seems that the adapter regulates the V Core in the inside and never

exceeds the 65C in max load (This CPU has a thermal design of 100C) . The performance gains are huge in gaming and productivity

programs like Office, and Windows Desktop etc, the only thing that got slighly slower was media encoding (Which love the P4 high

GHz). Is there another way to increase my overclock or improve bandwidth like disabling PAT or tighting timings? I know that my

system is not the fastest rig in the market, but works very well outperforming any single core Athlon 64 and sometimes challenging the

Athlon X2 4400+ in the gaming arena. Any help appreciated.
