Ok ive got an Amd Athlon Xp 1900+ with 512MB Corsair DDR333 PC2700 ram, on a Gigabyte 7RVXP mobo. This setup will probely shortly be in koolance 601 case with 200watt cpu cooler gold. I was wondering if it is posible to overclock my Athlon Xp 1900+ with my koolance system to 1900mhz from the default 1600mhz? If not whats the highest you supose I could achive with my setup? Also I was thinking about ocin the fsb too, how high do you think I could get with my setup for that too? Thanks!

Have you bought this system allready, if not you might want to change a few components. i.e:

Abit Kx7-333 for mobo (specially if you want high FSB with great memory scores)
Your ram is excellent
another water cooling solution maybe?

Also, what stepping is your core?

Cheers

AMD + Intel = lower prices for me :)

yea well I already bought the mobo, cpu and memory a little bit back (thoe I wish I had gotten rev 2.0 on the mobo since 1.1 sucks with gf4's) the only thing I didnt buy yet was the water cooling system. Oh yea and one thing that I havent realy picked up to much knowledge about in pc's over the last few years when ive been working with them was "stepping" could you explain to me more what it is and how to find out what stepping my cpu core has?
