My old P4 I got in 2004 overclocks very well, too. I set it like that soon after I got it and it runs solid as a rock like that to this day. One of the most stable systems I've ever had. :rockout:

2.8GHz Northwood with HT o/c 3.5GHz
Abit AI7 motherboard. Ah, Abit, how I miss thee.... :cry:
2GB DDR400 Geil RAM as 4 x 512MB
AGP graphics card: whatever I feel like plugging in today. lol

Tell you what though. Solid as it is at 3.5GHz, try for 3.6GHz and the system turns to jelly. Just won't do it stably, no matter what.

I've tried to push it further but this motherboard is horrible. I've had it for so long and I'm very tired of it. I will never buy another nvidia chipset. They're a joke for overclocking in my experiences.
