A 4Ghz CPU chip for $130.

If this is true, we're all going to be very happy people.

O/C'ing rules. My AMD 2500 XP is running around 400Mhzs higher that equals to an AMD 3200 XP, thanks to O/C'ing and effective cooling

Yeah LEN, exact same set up here...

Hmm, does that mean I can O/C my XP3000? (Without frying my machine that is.)

[LeftEyeNine]

Highyly probable, Beirut. Do you have non-standard cases or fans with your system? As I stated above, it gets even hotter in Izmir in summer, so that an O/C'ed system in winter would fry when it hits the spring times. Therefore I purchased this Chinese import that satisfies my system's cooling need at sufficent rates:



Once you have strong cooling devices, O/C 'ing is a matter of FSB adjustment through your BIOS.

A few case fans and you shouldnt have a problem. Make sure you have good airflow by careful placement of components and by using cable ties on your cables and wires. Just to make sure though, I have a Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu cooler as well. Its really great for OCing as its variable. You should be able to get at least an extra 200 mHz. Probably more.
