I've just overclocked my brother's E4600 from 2.40GHz to 2.66GHz effortlessly, IBT stable.

I'm not doing anything aggressive with it yet since it's not my computer, but it's a nice boost considering it's a generic computer with a cheap motherboard.

I just set the FSB to 222 and selected the lowest DDR2 strap. The ram is garden variety Kingston 667 so I haven't tried raising the FSB further, but I might take another shot at it tomorrow.

Sleep now, CPU-Z validation tomorrow.

But can it run Crysis?

(Yup, I just went there)

And yeah, I have the same mobo in my other rig

I managed to push a 1.86GHz e6300 dual core chip to 2ghz

Ofcourse it runs crysis!
I can do that with my p4 @ 3,0 ghz
but these changes arent significant!
I got my p4 cedar mill to 3.8 ghz
but, the stock voltages couldnt keep up!
Now i know its possible with this board to change them, cause i red it in older forum postings but they never explain how and i cant seem ti find it
also i cant seem to find the overclock setting at the jumperfree config in the bios, but according to asus and fellow owners is has to be there!
I got the p5gc-mx 1333 editon rev3.xx
this should be the one with all the oc functions
any ideas?
