How long is a peice of string ?
This is a similar question to the one that you have just asked, as neither of these can be answered. Lots of factors must come into play when overclocking such as, is the RAM your using 100 mhz or 133 mhz, the quality of your components, the temprature the system runs at and so much more... Overclocking is a kind of educational guesswork.. each system is different, all you can do is learn techniques and then ask specific advice, and when you do so, tell us as much about your system as you can.. A good place to start is reading the beginners guides on the front of this site...

While it is still not possible to tell you what speeds are possible, I can provide you with more information at this point.. Unfortunately your system will be limited by the SDRAM to a large extent as PC100 RAM will keep your FSB somewhere around that speed, good quality SDRAM will be allow you to run at a slighty faster speed although I cant quote a specific speed (example my PC133 runs happily at 140 mhz).. Unfortunately you have not selected a great heatsink, however you can make the most of it by lapping it.. there is a CPU database on the front of the site which will give you indications as to what is possible with your CPU.. however this differs from one CPU to another..

Were the L1 resistors cut, if so which ones. My socket A has no cuts on the L1 resistors??????

This guy is not talking about a socket A Athlon but a classic Slot A, If I´m not completely wrong.

So Firepuppy, what you should do
Get yourself a Goldfinger, they are quite cheap at the moment..(Have a look at e-bay) This will allow you to change the multiplier of the CPU.
I believe, 900 Mhz should be possible, when you raise you voltage and care for good cooling. At first, you could also try FSB overclocking , but most people aren´t too successful with it on those old slot A´s
Good luck, and ask me, if you should have any questions..
