I brought a new Intel Pentium 4 1.6A processor a couple of weeks ago after being told it was a good overclocking processor.
I popped it into a Soyo Dragon Ultra (SiS 645) with 768mb Crucial PC2100 DDR SDRAM and regular GeForce3 hoping it would reach somewhere around 2GHz at the most, which I would have been happy with.
After some playing around I was able to get the processor to boot at 2.5GHz (100 x 150) with standard air cooling - That is an 900MHz overclock, anyone thinking back to the Celeron 300A days? :)
It didn't boot into Windows at 2.5GHz, but I backed the processor down to 2.41GHz and ever since that time it has been running everything as stable as a rock - 800MHz overclock.
The only problem is because the FSB is set fairly high I have to run the memory slower untill I get some PC2700 or "PC3000" from OCZ.
I'm pretty impressed nevertheless! :afro:
