950mhz Athlon <---Overclockable??

[DBavaria]

How overclockable is a 950 mhz Athlon, and also do i need some sort of special chip or cooling to overclock it?

should hit 1050.
If you have a mobo that supports Bus adjustements, go ahead raise thus bus to 105. You may need to increase the voltage too.
If you really want to overclock to the chips potential you may probably want to get a Global Win Vos32 or something equivalent.

good luck

A 950MHz Athlon will not go very far at all, I wouldn't think even close to 1050MHz, probably barely 1GHz. The reason is because the faster Athlons with higher multipliers can barely go any higher, and a lot of the time are at their limit to begin with. If you want around 950MHz or so, an 850MHz Athlon (Much cheaper) paired with a good heatsink/fan combo, such as the Global Win VOS32($29), should get you in the 935MHz - 952MHz with relatively no problems.
