bought just a few days ago to replace my palomino agoia 1800...how far can i go with this cpu? for now my cpu is running 12.5x146Mhz = 1875MHz @ default voltage @ 42C at load.. this is on a KT266A based motherboard with no APG/PCI bus lock..

another question, how much PCI busspeed can a CMI8738 soundcard take?

now currently at 12x154 = 2200+... pci is at 39Mhz.... any suggestions to this overclock? should i lover FSB to lower my pci bus? its running stable for now... so how long will this take before my hdd starts currupting files....

allmost all Tbred B stepping can be eaily overclocked to 2.2GHZ(XP2800 level)
with 1.7 -1.75 Vcore. I and my friend have tried almost 10 CPUs.

If you are lucky, you may be able t get one can be overclocked to 2.4GHZ with
that range of Vcore.

is my PCI bus speed ok? should i continue running at this speed? or should i lower down...

I would lower it down for the sake of your hardware. FOr my MSI KT333 rig, getting a few xtra mhz for running my Radeon 9700 PR0 and sb live sound card outta spec isnt worth it. Try to stay under 150mhz.
