Sorry guys...in the midst of all my glory being new at overclocking and learning in mere hours how to do it I forgot my manners
Here are some specs...
Mobo...http://www.elements-pc.com/mb/v400da/v400da.html
CPU...AMD XP 2000+ (T-Bred 'B')with stock cooling
Memory...256 samsung DDR 2100
Running at 1841 MHZ, High temp 50 c after running Prime 95 for 13 hours 6 min, 1.63 volts
Going to look for bettter heatsink and fan combo today. I hear I can get another 600 MHZ out of this
Hope that's what you meant for specs.
Could not have done it without you guys!!!!!

First off, congrats on a nice oc.
A really good hs choice would be an SLK-900-A. Can be had at Newegg for $37.99 + $6.00 shipping. Maby not the best bang for the buck, but it'll keep that 2000+ nice & cool (more headroom to overclock even further
). And put a smart fan II on it ($9.99 + $6.00 shipping). Admittedly, that's not the most economical way to go, but a real way to go.

Actually got it up to 1912 MHZ and stable. Prime95'ed for 10+ hours. And yes folks.....still running retail cooler and fan at high temp of 51 c! Maybe it is just because the case has such good airflow. Put putty on all the seams and leaks and blew smoke through the front to see airflow through side and it was quite a bit of eye candy with the lights and all. Did a little whirl around in the center near the CPU and exited through the rear with such grace Quake III for 5+ hours and stable. Don't know if that means anything. Just wanted to check for frame drops and such.

hey, on quake 3, if you have the latest patch(1.32), on the menu screen, pull down the console, type in "\timedemo 1" without the quotes, then close the console, click demos, and play the demo, when it's done, pull down the console, and see what the average fps is, good quick benchmark, do it twice

Normally I run steady 175 fps at 4x AA. Let me go run the demo you suggested and give you those stats.

HA youre hooked now dude! i was the same way about a year ago i built my first sytem with a athlon thunderbird 1.4 gig and a shuttle kt133 mother board. in the last year i have upgraded through 4 motherboards, 3 CPU's, 2 sticks of ramm, 3 video cards, 2 water blocks and 2 pumps!
i'm telling you man "it's adictive"!

you should replace that stock heatsink..
a SK-7 Smart Fan 2 combo would work nice for you

thats odd. i would have expected a DUT3C 2100+ to hit 2.2Ghz on stock voltage.

that cpu can go MUCH higher than 1900.... invest $30 on a SK7 and 80mm fan and you should be able to get around 2.3ghz
