what sort of overclock am i looking at?

My mobo isnt great, but im getting a new psu and memory soon and im wondering what sort of overclock i would get, heres what i found in a review of my board:

Tinkering about in the BIOS, we managed a rock-solid 360MHz FSB speed with memory running synchronously. Standard air cooling was used and the figure is, again, generally indicative of the P965 chipset's potential. Not quite as high as the abit AB9 Pro's 375MHz and significantly lower than the AW9D Max's 486MHz but satisfactory nonetheless.

Now im pretty sure thats crap, but is it decent at all?

That makes no sense at all! lol

360X8=2880

What is it you are asking?

350 x 8 = 2800mhz

So you will have a clock speed of 2.8Ghz.

Weescott just told you, you will get 350-360x 8 so 2800Mhz - 2880Mhz.

ok thanks guys

sorry didnt see that, im a complete noob to overclocking.

Pretty annoyed at only 2.8

but gaming wise wont really see too much difference between 2.8 and 3.2 will i?

Probably not. 2.8Ghz will be decent so I wouldn't be so annoyed. After all it is a free performance boost.
