Can I Effectively Oc My Xp2000+

[Mr. Elmo]

why would u say a 2000 is slow? hows the coolign in ur current system? i dont think that if you thinkg the 2000+ is slow, a 200mhz increase is gonna be any different.

The Thoroughbred core doesn't seem to like being clocked to an FSB above about 140 (or the Palomino for that matter), although I understand some of the 1800XP's were an exception.

The 1800's (dont know which core) were actually 2600+ re-labelled thats why they could be clocked so high.

I have a 2000+ and its not significantly overclockable and certainly not worth the effort.

thanks. seems like ppl are with the idea that its not worth OCing, and that also ther wont be much difference.
