How high can I safely go? Overclocking on a biostar ideq 200p sff, unlocked bus currently at 222 htt, 37MHz pci. Processor at 2GHz vs 1.8 stock. In windows with clockgen I went to 233 fine and pci bus was 38.8, was testing with prime 95 and games, all tested fine, but is 38.8 too high long term? ty. Also, you think I should go to a 3700+ for $150? I think I should be able to hit 2.6ish, is 600MHz and 1MB cache worth the $70 upgrade? ty
 
I aint no expert but you not locking your pci bus speed when u OC!!!!!!! Man they supposed to stay at what they are. You oc them and you could get loads of problems. I would recommend leaving them how they are by keeping them at the fixed value.

ohhh sorry man.....

I would leave it at it is youve gone from 33-37 thye not meant to run alot out of spec. you may be able to get to 40 tops. But i dont recommend it. Just get a new board
 
All Cards will act different at different speeds. Right now my TV Tuner will not function and I will get BSODs all day if i am over 35MHz. :(
