Re: You are correct. 28% is a lot to push on a motherboard Intel's current spec allows for 33% faster FSB speeds than your baseline, so clocking to an FSB of less than 533 shouldn't be that big a stretch. Here's a 50% overclock of the fastest shipping Athlon's FSB: x86-secret.com

wbmw, At least in the days of Celeron, you were overclocking the board from 67MHz to 100MHz, and that usually had a lot of headroom. These days, board electricals haven't improved all that much, but logic is getting a helluva lot faster. In that respect, 50% overclocks are going to be rare, if at all possible, unless you are willing to live with a few instabilities like STR not working. With Celeron on a BX board at 100 MHz, everything except the CPU was running within specs. Joe
