If you have good cooling i (RE GOOD COOLING) i think it would be safe to have the Vcore upto 1.9-1.95 Volts... with good cooling.
1.8-1.85 is you cooling isnt the best.

As FSB goes... if your hardware is happy at that speed go for it.
You dont really have to worry about the FSB being to high for the CPU but rather the rest of the cards (PCI AGP ect..) in your rig. Your PCI speed is 41.33Mhz... it should be 33.33Mhz, and as long a your cards (harddrives) are happy at that speed, your happy.
Is 133 FSB out of reach?

ive had it up to as high as 144 but the system became unstable..at 133/33 i get 1066 and decent stability and it runs at 104 F. its just those few lockups that bug me at that speed:)...i was more concerned with the chip being slot 1...over all im happy with the way it is now but when i look at the 3dmark site my score seem low.


im running 2 sticks of 256meg pc133 from Kingston
