I've a p4 1,7 Ghz that currently runs on 1,953 Ghz, It's pretty stable too. Im using the standaard cpufan, temperture is at lowest 27C and max i've seen is 51c. I'm getting a AMD 1800 system this week that i also want to oc, but i will buy a better cpufan for both systems first. How high could i get the AMD you guys think? And what are you're exspiernces with oc-ing?

My pc is currently fast enough for Doom 3 wiht "ultra extreme details" (P4 2.53; Ati Radeon 9700 pro; 512MB 1066 RDRAM) so I don't need to overclock, but if it becomes required I gonna buy a new one...

Doom 3 has a very impressive graphic design... Back to the topic, my pc is already over 2 years old and not up to date anymore, thats why I'll by next year a new one, but a friend of mine just bought an Aurora ALX computer made by alienware, thats hot stuff (sth. about 6000 bucks)

You need to get into the bios to change the clock speed or multipler. For video cards you need a tweak software.
