i posted a week or so ago not being able to overclock this a64 3000. After doing everything from Eclipses guide (awesome guide might i ad) and upping the vcore, loosing timings, im still only able to over to 210. even when i use the memory divider, its all i can do is 210. how can i tell what the limiting factor is here? once again,here are my system specs below.Also, would it be wise at this point in the game to upgrade to s939, or buy a 754 3700 and some more ram (2 gig of pc3500). i worry that the 3700 wont be fast for months to come, id like to atleast run unreal3 (i realize nobody knows how stuff will perform on this game) on atleast close to everything on high.one more thing, whenever i do attempt to go over 210,sometimes i can do 215, but windows is real sluggish then 2 minutes later,i get BSOD. at 220, i get BSOD loading windows.

temps? i dont think there is too many ppl who arnt worried about playing unreal3, they had dual xeon 3.6's and sli 6800U's barely playable at 640x480 iirc

one can only hope for optimisations massively improving performance remember:
doom 3 and hl2 tech demos worked like shit, but what CANT the final versions run on?

epic seems to care less then others when it comes to having it run-able on current hardware, i remember somthing like half of the people who wanted to run ut2003 had to upgrade to get reasonable performance
 
temps are great. cpu idles at 32c,maxes out at 42 to 45c.chipset idles at 33c,tops out at 36c.
 
im in the same boat but it probably becuase i have a newcastle core it sucks im at like 211 fsb
 
Try moving the sata hard drive to a different port (3/4) as it sounds like the sata bus isn't locked. Either that or you've got a super crap-tabulous batch of ram, try using a ram divider.

EDIT: I've read (but never tried it myself) that upping the agp bus to 67 might lock the sata bus......might be worth trying at least.
