I wanted to know how far I can push my cpu under stock air cooling. My current system consist of:

3500+ venice core
2X512 kingston valueram ddr400 (3200)
Msi k8n neo4-f
gigabyte 6600gt
80gb Hdd

What else can I do to push this further? So far, everything is unchanged and I raised the fsb to 219 so its running at 2400mhz. Ran prime for 12 hours and system is stable. Temp on idle is 34c full at 48c. Thanks in advance.

One last thing, I built this comp 3 months ago. How long will this last me? What should I get down the road?

Put your memory down to DDR333 PC2700 speeds, that Kingston ValueRAM can't overclock as high as your FSB can. Start incrementing the FSB, get to 225 and than increase voltage .05-.15v and continue every 15MHz until reaching 266MHz, than put Multiplier to 10x and run 2660MHz w/ RAM @ DDR333 (RAM will OC with the CPU but keep that RAM below 450MHz). Don't worry about lifetime, keep it under 1.55v CPU Voltage and you'll still have a computer to give to your kids.
