You're not a n00b anymore once overclocking isn't worth mentioning anymore -- let along bragging about. ;)DwnSthGaBoyz said:

I don't think the XP2400's are the best OCers from what I understand. How good of an OC depends on the CPU, motherboard and RAM (unless you OC strictly by the multiplier). I you don't have an nForce 2 board, you're going to find that your PCI cards don't place nice when the PCI bus starts getting close to 40MHz.
If you have an nF2 board (and the AGP/PCI lock is implemented) you're limited by the CPU and possibly RAM. I don't know what grade of DDR you have, but don't expect to go far if you only have PC2100.
You could change the memory:FSB ratio at this point, but the overclock may not offset the loss in memory bandwith.
