I have used FIC mainboards and the utilities cd that came with it had a program in which you could overclock from your desktop.

I think the Kryotech systems use liquid Nitrogen for cooling, the way extreme even compard to water cooling. I heard intel was able to get 10Ghz with same system on new P4 3Ghz.

Also, thats a nice little increase from 1700+ to 2400+, what changes did you make ie voltage, fsb, pci+agp etc??

was multiplyer or fsb used for ocing? if fsb was tweaked then its even better than a 2400+

I heard the largest noticeable difference would come with memory - so when I had money I bought 2 sticks of 512

You find improvement on CPU intensive applications Lynch, eg. Multimedia encoding, Number Crunching stuff, Seti@home, Folding etc

Well, I watch movies - not encode, I don't use the calculator much, I do sit at home much, and I can do sit ups but barely touch my toes.

lol but you would notice a decent performance boost in games, encoding/decoding like what was stated. and if you buy two 512 sticks make sure they are exactly the same so they can run in dual channel mode almost double the bandwidth os single channel
