Just picked up one of those 4000+ SD chips very cheaplay as well as a 512mb X1800XT and Abit KN8 Ultra (not so cheaply) and have cobbled it altogether !!
Now i want to OC it but haven't OC'd an AMD chip since the days of drawing lines on them with pencils !!! :(

My mate said they're like P4's now in that you can only increase the FSB and RAM timimngs. In my P4 system, all i did was lock the AGP frequesncy and cranck up the FSB to get 3.3ghz out of the 3Ghz chip. Is that all i need to do with this ?

I've took the Corsairs TwinX 3200c2pt RAM from my p4 system that runs at 2-3-3-6. Should i leave those settings alone ? The ram hit 220 at these settings in my P4

Thanks for any help
 
Cheers guys, this all seems a bit easy though.........

All i have done is up the FSB from 200 to 225 (can't find RAM dividers anywhere so i assume it's runng at a 1:1 ratio ?) and the chip is now running at 2700.....on the stock fan......with no increase to voltage........in an Antec Overture 2 case....... :).
I have left all the voltages at "Default" and all the RAM settings are "Auto"

I know the obvious answer is "try it" but how high is this thing likely to go ????
 
Cheers again.
I've already completed FEAR (several times) so thought i would give Oblivion a try. Played that for 2 hours and nothing went wrong so that must be a good sign !! :)
