progress report --

For a bit of added insurance I upped the NB voltage to 1.70 and currently have a clock of (7x535MHz = 3745MHz) going.

Not a world record by any stretch... but still more than I had expected these parts would get me on air without going to the extent of lapping heatsinks and such.

Its also hard to say which type of overclocking is going to work better over the long run. Both max CPU and max FSB have their strong points, it just depends on what I'm doing with the system at a given time that determines which is faster.
