Will direct you to what seems to be a good article on the subject here: <A HREF="http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/00q2/000623/index.html" target="_new">http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/00q2/000623/index.html</A>
As for personal advise, well, I would max out my mobo first(see the max cpu supported in your manual) and only after that start thinking of o/c. Never ferget that with o/c there is a risk taken. Even quite knowledgable people have fried cpus this way.
Cheers

Are we really ready for "contact" ?

For what it's worth, I had my Duron 600 @ 1007 mhz (106 * 9.5), air-cooled.

Now it's running a 950 mhz (100 * 9.5). I gave the motherboard (Abit KT7) and Duron to my nephew so I toned down the overclocking a little for extra stability. (His case has less cooling and weaker power supply).

By the way, that combo is now 16 months old.

I have a unlocked Duron 600@800 running 133 MHz FSB on a Asus A7A266 motherboard! maybe I could push higher, but I dont have too good a cooler.
