I'm not sure if I could answer that, reason is, is the multiplier differs
from a
2.6 GHz cpu so as to still have a 200 MHz FSB
I have to turn mine up @ around 3.1 GHz or a little higher, a 3.06 GHz CPU
is a bit different.
You'll only know when you hit an FSB that becomes unstable.
And you won't be able to go much further then that without better cooling.
I'm using water, but for the overclock I'm using now, it's overkill.
Reason for it is this.
I get a ram bandwith of 3 Gigs, I do it for better / faster encoding.
That's why I want to finish my PC-DL Deluxe MB
http://www.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20040514/e7505-chipsatz-13.html
When trying to find stuff on it, I keep finding people who get these Really
Sweet Video Cards.
But it's not the point, or @ least not the one I'm trying to reach. I could
care less if my Video runs with
less then 32MB of ram, 16MB Voodoo would be good enough there.
Sorry to ramble on there.
Something else I've noticed with people trying to Overclock one of these
boards.
They put DDR333 in them, & DDR333 is the max the boards can take, then
complain they can't push them very
far, of course not.
I've found this a problem with my Single P4 MB Gigabyte GA-8IG1000 Pro
It will run DDR400, but you can't push it to run much faster then DDR400
About 412 or 414 is about all I could get without my bios giving me a ram
error.
If you want a really nice Overclock, you should've got a 2.8 GHz CPU.
Nice ram, but not too fast, since that your overclocking the stuff.
If your board takes max of DDR 400, get something below it.
DDR333, if you can put DDR533 in it, then get DDR400.
