Is it rock stable? i'm not talking windows and a few games. Download prime 95 and do a 24hr torture test, if it fails its not solid. Once it passes we can go from there to see how much more MHz you can get out of it.

Also, keep in mind that as you go upwards you "might'' need to loosen the RAM timings. My PC3200XL did not like the super tight timings past about 225mhz. So, when/if you do go up any more on the FSB, if you have errors, try it again with reduced latencies. I had good luck with 2,3,3,6 and 2.5,3,3,7 as I OCed mine to about FSB250 or so.

 

I am not familiar with the current AMD CPUs so I have no idea how far/fast you will be able to go.

 

Good luck, Mike.
