many people have there opinions about this subject, a 2.0ghz amd is better than a 2.6ghz intel p4 because of clocking speeds blah blah etc.

personally i have a AMD but what do you think is better value or better quality?

If it comes up to quickly for you then just press the "pause" button on the keyboard, you can also get programs like WCPUID for free on the net which lets you see your cpu's speed amongst other things in windows.

You can measure it when the PC boots, it says it on the int boot screen before it checks the drives.

How much a chip overclocks depends very much on the chip unfortunately. If you have an -M chip, or one of the old JIUHBs, you're well in. On the other side, if you have a Palomino, you're buggered really.

That runs at 1800mhz on a 13.5 Multiplier right? Im sure with decent memory, you should be able to hit 1900mhz at a minimum and maybe even 2000mhz. BUT, its all dependant on the core type of your CPU and the actual CPU. No one CPU is the same, all are different.

Just keep upping the FSB till the PC becomes unstable. Dont let the temperature go over 50oC, and dont exceed any more then 0.3V extra on the CPU and 0.2V on the RAM. (Yes I know thats not much, but he's a noob, so we dont want him sticking 0.5V here and there.)

I never understand it when people ask how "far" they can clock a certain cpu, im not sure if they want a number? unfortunatly the only way to know is to actually do it then see what you can get.

i was just wondering how far can i push a AMD 2200+ on a mobo with 333 fsb

i think the fsb is correct not sure, i am a bit of a n00b when it comes to overclocking i haven't really been intrested until now!!

in other words i don't quite grasp the thorey of overclocking, and how it works exactaly.

K8T800 doesn't support AGP and PCI lock, so don't count on it.

I have tried it with a SATA controller card and it actually was worse than the onboard version, I am sure that Abit will bring out a bios update that will give me the option to lock the agp and pci bus's
