Hey-
I'm starting out with my 'first' overclock with an athlon xp-m system that I built as a media-pc (EXTRA cheapo... and quiet).
Anyways, here are the specs:
Athlon XP-M 2600+ @ 215x11.0, 1.625 V
ASUS A7N8X Deluxe v2.0
512 MB OCZ Performance DDR400 @ 2.5-3-3-6 (stock is 2-3-3-6), 2.6 V
Sparkle 350W PSU (I'll give you a link, if requested).
Anyway - I'm currently tweaking the FSB to see how high I can get that.
I ran prime95 successfully for 8 hrs at 215x11.0, and I can boot into Windows at 220x11.0, but the comp locks up as soon as I start prime95. I lowered to 218x11.0 to see if that would help, but now it just locks up after about 4 hrs of prime95 (I'm running the full torture test). I've upped the vcore to 1.725, now, with the same results - what's the next step? I figured I would up the RAM voltage to 2.7, see how that ran, and then loosen some timings. I just wanted to double-check, because I'm not getting blue-screens, or prime95 errors - the comp just freezes up and doesn't respond to input.
(Temps are around 42C load, 30C idle)
EDIT: Currently torture-testing 200x12.5 @ 1.750 V IDLE: 30C, LOAD: 41C
