My first solo bought and built machine was a poorly selected XP2400+, which were terrible for overclocking, and this was rectified by getting a lovely XP2500M.

I'm upgrading my housemate's aging machine from a 1.1Ghz Duron, to a 2000+ (Palomino, mobo supports it), and I was wondering if these chips had an history of decent overclocks?
 
the best samples scraped upto about 1.9ghz with much voltage/cooling. 2100+ (1.73ghz) was usually in reach for pally's gettign much over 1.8 was often hard tho.

they are very tough if well cooled however, t-birds/pallys ive used in the past went years at upto 2.4v and still clock the same/run stock without issue. i have seen a 1ghz axia t-bird fed 3.?v by accident (i-will kk266 voltmodded/ovp/ocp modded). the result was the psu cutting off due to ocp on the +5v rail the ocp/ovp being set more sensibly and a perfectly working pc.

Yep definitely, wasn't the default vcore something like 1.75v? I had an XP1900+ and it certainly wasn't cool running!

Apparently 1.75, but CPU-Z has it at 1.68

Can't get the thing stable above 1.5Ghz, crappy PCChips mobo, but it's still a nice boost from the Duron :)
