Originally Posted by Evil XP2400 It's a fair deal, but you could have done a bit better by doint it yourself. The system is overclockable but I think you're going to be limited because the Nforce 3 150 chipset doesnt have PCI/AGP locks. |

Yeah, clawhammers are fine cpus. You get the 1MB extra cache and they overclock quite well. When you start overclocking it, set a low shutdown temp so your cpu doesnt burn in the process if temps get too high. And dont do big jumps, up voltage .25 or .5 at a time and FSB 5mhz at a time, that way you'll be safer. |

If you have any specific questions when you're done reading it ask and I'll be happy to explain it to you. Read it twice if you have to, it can be a bit confusing. EDIT: Yes I have a S754 Clawhammer 3200... Just like you
