K, since I am a newbie to the forums, I guess the easiest way to get my answer is to ask directly. My rig that I began building in Jan and finished in May is decent, but I guess I screwed myself in some aspects. The old hunk that it replaced *was* a P200 (non MMX) with 96 MB RAM and a 3 GB HD, so........
I built this one from scratch - P4 20A / Northwood, 1.25 GB PC2100 DDR, Tyan Trinity 510 (s2266) motherboard, Dual IBM Deskstar 18 GB HDs (I skimped on storage - for now), QPS Que Fire 16X10X40X burner removed from case and installed a master on secondary IDE channel, with a generic 48X ROM as slave, and an nVidia GeForce 4 MX 440 based GA with 64 MB and dual heads.
Is it even worth it to try to play with it and overclock? Just for reference, I have 20 80 mm Fans pushing through, and I bought the ThermalTake Dragon Orb w/ the Switch, so I can definitely cool it, but I am wondering if my motherboard is not going to like it or not - last time I played with the settings (such as freq mult) I changed it from 100 to 101 and it would not boot, so I had to go back to defaults.
Suggestions?
TIA
