    Alright,I got it up to 200x11=2.2
    Is this as fast as I can go?

    Maybe not, but in my experience you probably can't take it much further without upping the vcore.

    Dunno' how much more the ram will like either.

    Seeing as how you've already surpassed the 3000+ you mentioned earlier, you've done well as it is if it's prime-stable.

    If you do up your vcore be sure to mind your temps as well.

    No, but i wouldn't try any higher as you could fry your chip. 2.2Ghz is just above an AMD 3000+ so you did what you set out to do. Leave it for a week or so play some games see if you find anything goes wrong, if not you could decide to push for more but to be honest who's gonna notice 30MHz extra when your CPU looks like its been a deep fat fryer.

    As I have already said, I have one running at the same 200x11 @stock vcore for over a year under full load. I'm quite sure that it could go faster but then you risk instability so I leave it like that.

    2.2 GHz is the same speed setting as the 3200+


    What are your temps?

    Ok...I think I will not tempt fate and leave it right where it is.

    Do so, 2.2 gigahertz is quite enough for most things, I've found. If you definitely need more power you should probably be getting an athlon 64, anyway.

    Really?

    Geez, my Oregon Trail lagged horribly till I wrung my T-bred's neck and forced her up to 2.25 GHz.
    Even then, my 2 meg vid card was a bit of a bottleneck.

    *And since posting this is, IMO, a logical result of the preceeding post, feel free to not remove this post.
