    Windows XP
    AMD Athlon 3200+
    1GB DDR PC3200

    I've moved the CPU multiplier from 10.5 to 11.0 and noticed a 0.1GHz increase.

    Anyone know how far I can go to O/C this thing?

    Don't want to damage it as it's my first time. I'm an O/C virgin

    Whats the speed of it right now? From what ive heard on websites they say to go in increments of 10 and make sure everything is stable afterwards.

    EDIT: I may be thinking of videocards?

    Well it was running at 2.09 GHz (10.5 on multiplier)

    Now it's 2.19 (11.0 on multiplier)

    It goes up to 12.5 I think.

    Also, apart from the CPU, what else can I O/C?

    I have a 128MB ATI Radeon 9800 Pro

    Jus' need some advice

    Maybe so, Im not to shure. There are various apps on guru3d.com for all your ATI overclocking needs.

    make sure you watch out for the temps of your CPU!

    You can check your cpu temp in the bios also. Ive got my CPU overclocked to 2.5 ghz from 2.0 on stock cooling and it seems to run ok and the temps are fine. I overclocked my videocard before but put it back to stock because of artifacting, since my pos 5200 doesnt have a fan. When I began overclocking my cpu I went up in increments of 5 I beleive and tried everything, checked temps ect. So far so good.

    thanks clocker.

    i think i've gone as far as i can with the cpu multiplier.

    it's set at 11.0x and 11.5 makes it unstable

    i have no idea how to enable my agp either. it say's it's enabled but everest is telling me otherwise. everest is also telling me my board supports 8x agp but it's only set at 4x. looking in my bios, agp 8x is enabled. weird
