can you clarify for our members?

did you over clock 1.47ghz to 2.0ghz in real mhz?

or did you go from a pr rating of 1700xp to a pr rating of 2000xp?

some things many people overlook when overclocking the fsb is you are also overclocking the pci bus and all components in the system

hard drives and soundcards do overclock and some will glitch or defect and thus will not last as long as the manufactered specs.

asus on my old p4 board had a pci lock so i was able to boost the fsb without overclocking the components and i was able to get insane fsb wit a stock fan. amd is much more hot and you can bet if your fan died the cpu could go up in smoke.
