Okay, I'm looking at getting a bit more performance out of my Shuttle as I wont be able to fork out for any upgrades for a long time. My current setup is as follows (rest is in the sig):

Althon X2 6000+ @3.015Ghz (201Mh, x15, 1.344V)
G.Skill DDR2-800 5-5-5-15 2T 1.8V
X1950XTX GPU 648Mhz, Mem 999Mhz (GPU-Z)


Any ideas where I can/should start tweaking? I changed my mem settings this morning as it was set to auto in the bios which registered as DDR2-400 3-6-6-18. I haven't played with the CPU settings as, well I'm not sure where to start for the best improvement I can get without outlaying bucks. Lets just say that I'm an extreme noob when it comes to OCing, I've tinkered with my 1950 shortly after I got the system but have rebuilt a few times so its pretty much running at default settings.

Cheers
 
Trying to OC a Shuttle XPC for your first overclock may not be the best idea. I had an XPC and have another SFF system slightly larger than an XPC now. In both cases, I came to the conclusion that SFF and overclocking just don't mix. I am sure some will disagree and it is certainly possible but being in an SFF just constrains what you can do so much and your airflow is all chopped up vs a larger OC-friendly case. You can't add multiple fans, you can't add most 3rd party cooling solutions, etc.

My $.02 anyway - but good luck - and just remember if you don't get great results in your SFF don't let that put you off overclocking forever!
 
I remember having a 3GHz prescott in a Shuttle case...

Don't put hot chips in small cases!
