I've been wondering what's the maximum fsb settings either processor can achieve. For Amd i've seen 233mhz w/ nForce2 and intel around 267mhz w/ p4c800. (202mhz/~233mhz w/ air cooling)Can they go higher, or are they limited by the chipsets?

I'm currently using an XP 1700+ with a Vantec Aeroflow, using a 5000rpm TMD fan(Tip Magnetic Drive) fan. It's a lot quieter than other 5000rpm HSFs. idle the cpu is ~35C motherboard is ~29C. Under full load cpu ~45C motherboard ~35C. Are there other TMD HSFs out ther and is the TMD fan a good fan? 'cause I haven't seen any other TMD fans in the market...thanks

202Mhz seems a little low for the amd setup on air cooling. My xp2400 reached 200 very easily w/o voltage changes, idling at 31C (8RDA+ nForce2 board). I haven't tried going any higher, as 200 was my goal, but I'm sure I could get more than 2 higher, especially with a northbridge fan.
This is with an SLK-800 and 80mm 5k rpm 80cfm fan for cpu cooling. As for intel, I haven't had the opportunity to OC any.
