i am using an older cpu/motherboard. thoroughbred 2100+ and soyo kt400 dragon (sandra and all my other programs recognize it as a kt400, but the motherboard says "KT333 DRAGON PLUS". this is the computer in my sig so just look down there for more info. as for cooling i have a large aluminum case with 3 case fans currently installed but it has room for 2 more, and an extreme volcano 12.

anyways i was wondering with my current setup, what kind of overclock could i get with a new motherboard such as nf7-s or dfi infinity? it is an unlocked cpu and it runs very cool. i can get the computer to start at 166x15 but it will not stay stable. i havnt been able to run the computer at any higher fsb due to my motherboard (it seems). i could probebly squeeze out 233mhz on my ram if my cpu is capable of going that high.

so if anyone knows how high my cpu is likely to go on a nice motherboard, please tell me.
thanks.
 
Maybe 2.4, depending on how much voltage you are willing to shoot into it. But also maybe not any higher than what you already are getting. 2.3ghz is pretty decent.

If it's a JIUHB maybe 2.5?
 
i actually care about high fsb more than total overclock. i dont want to be putting unsafe voltages in, but im fine with up to 1.9 or whatever u feel is safe. so i mean really my question is just what kind of front side bus can i get with my current setup and a nice motherboard?
 
That depends on your RAM.

I can get 235mhz on my NF7-S with my PC3500, passes memtest86 but it is not prime stable though.

Anyway, although it's not my business, I say save your dough for something truly worth buying around christmas or something ;)
