Exactly what advice are you looking for?
^ Same as this guy. What is wrong that you need help with?
Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Rule 1A:
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Rule 3:
When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
Random Tip o' the Whatever
You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
Nothing severe. up to 2.2 GHz at the most. Maybe 2.4 if he's REALLY feeling like living dangerously.
2.2 might be pushing it, shot for 2.0 for starters. Up the fsb to 200, up the vcore a tad, and see what happens. Just remember increase in small steps.
I got 2.4Ghz on my old 2100+. I forget what crazy voltage I used though.

I had an xp2800 i ran at 2.4 for a while with the stock HSF and no TIM.
Had the K7N2 delta mobo.
It really liked 1T timings.

The only thing future proof in electronics, is the electricity itself.There's a lot less voodoo in watercooling than is assumed
Any one who relies on only one source of information is a fool.
thanks, guys. Got the whole thing sorted out, so thanks again for your advice.
