Well, as far as I have heard, the old "pencil the bridges" maybe a recipe for disaster on the new XP's. So you can't CPU Multi overclock since all Athlons, reg and XP are locked. And 1.4 is the correct clock for a 1700+ XP. So in this case FSB overclocking is your only real option. Of course that can mess up plenty of stuff (PCI bus, etc.) By that I mean, instability as the FSB speed increases, with a small possibility of damage. Most places I have seen place 150MHz as a upper limit that is very hard to acheive. If you really are interested in overclocking, you should look at some hardware oriented sites, such as www.overclockers.com www.arstechnica.com the MaximumPC forums has a decent OC community. In my opinion, to OC you need good cooling, determination, and a fat wallet to replace broken parts! Jeff
