CPU Limits?

[freechus9]

What are the limits of an Athlon XP in terms of overclocking? I was thinking I would clock it with a 140 MHz bus with a 12.5 multiplier. But, any other suggestions? And if I did that, would I have to increase the voltage as well?

I'm really not sure!! I'm kinda new to overclocking too... Sorry!

I was planning on some Kingston PC2700..a gig! Hows that sound?! And only 66.50 for a stick of 512 MB...

yeah, i wouldn't put less than 1gb of DDR333 in a new computer these days... especially with RAM prices the way they are

 

[freechus9]

If I adjust the multiplier only will it post also or will it just..burn out?

That's all good and dandy, but..my MAIN problem is choosing the right fan. I'm currently looking at a Volcano 9 but I'm really not sure. Could someone just TELL me what fan/heatsink to get?

Thank you!

I just saw 512 mb for $55 somewhere...and I dont think it was the "cheap stuff"

Just DONT get the TT Dragon Orb fans!!! They look pretty but are complete CRAP!

I read some reviews on that..yeesh! And some other heatsinks were close to 1 KG.
