how far you go depends on 4 things...

make (stepping) of the CPU.
cpu cooling
motherboard and ram compatibility
luck

<A HREF="http://www.overclockers.com" target="_new">http://www.overclockers.com</A> have a overclocking data base, go there and have a look at what people get with which core stepping codes and what sort of cooling.
but allways remember, luck is the ultimate determining factor here.

u gotta be kidding me ?? Thats it ??

my XP1600+ does 2000+ speeds at defualt voltage....if i upped it a bit i know i can get 2200+ speeds easy....

so im sure a 1900+ should be able to get theoretical 2300+ speeds....
