Ok, this system is very stable, but being the speed glutton that I am, i was looking for information on how to overclock this combonation. Anyone have any experience or ideas? Thanks!

go into the bios and start boosting the fsb(front side bus) - keep the multiplier the same, as it is locked. the bios will give you the fsb options, with a slash, then a number which is the freq. that the pci bus will be running at at that bus speed, make sure you choose a bus speed that has a corresponding pci speed that is under 40, you probably can boot and run fine for a while w/ a pci of 40 or above, but there is a real danger of hard drive failure and the resulting data corruption = NO FUN, so be careful - try 133 1st. remember if you aren't stable at first boost you vcore voltage in .5v increments, also back off ram timings to 3-3-3 if need be.
