We decided to overclock by 10-15% again, since this seems to be a slew which most components should tolerate. Our basic system is now running at 133 MHz FSB by default. Again there is the question whether to use a system based on i820 and RDRAM, or a platform using VIA's Apollo Pro 133A chipset. In my eyes Rambus systems are not particularly suited for overclocking due to the memory issue. i820 can only be faster using PC800 RDRAM, whose actual pricing is as high as low end computers. People who want to spend more money on their memory than others would spend for a CPU usually don't need to overclock their system.
VIA's Apollo Pro 133A chipset is a platform which is affordable and which should be quite widespread very soon.
