He didn't put the heat sink on right with his old one and fucked it and had to get a duron until criggamas....he has a 2000 now and gforce 4 the bastard...

# lol
my overclock was with no thermal goop :-O

if i had better cooling i reckon i could get it way higher, but its not really worth it with that cpu, i shall be trying to get the 2200+ to at least 2.1gig
