I have an AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (Barton) in one of my computers. It runs at 2167 on a 166 FSB. It has an unlocked multiplier all the way up till I believe 19.0x. I have the option to run it at 1300, 1733, 2167, and 2600 without user config. However, if I put it at 2600, it loses stability and doesn't boot. That is not the problem.
Since it has an unlocked multiplier, I'm considering running it at 2400 on a 200 base clock and a 12.0x multiplier (I'll drop for 13.0x). I have memory-DDR333-which will be overclocked automatically to DDR400 since I don't have an option to change mem clock and stuff like that.
My question is what will an Athlon XP at 2400 equal to an Intel processor (current generation)? Will I be able to run the proc. at 2.4 under 1.65v? Will it run on the stock heatsink without burning up?
