hello and AWESOME site.I have an AMD Athlon XP 1800, im wishing to try my first overclocking experience. What can i expect out of this setup i have??

CPU= AMD Athlon XP 1800 1533MHz Palomino

Mobo= MSI 745 Ultra (MS-6561) Chipset=SiS 745

Memory= 1.5gig PC2700ddr 333MHz (3 512 sticks) All with heat spreaders

350W PS

CPU temp= 122F
System Temp= 91F --- Stock fan, will be getting new fans this week

CPU FSB Clock 133MHz (goes to 200MHz)
CPU DRAM Clock Ratio= 1:1 is changeable
CPU Ratio Set At= By H/W ( is changeable from 6.0-15.0 )

200 gig partitioned harddrive

Soundblaster Audigy Platinum Sound

GeForce4 Ti4600 128mb Video

Not sure what else to include, i am financially challenged right now and im wondering if i can OC this system, and what could i expect out of it if i wanted to try. AND would it be worth the effort for improvement. Thanks and i hope i provided the correct info.

No case fans right now, maybe get those this week as well.
 
The best Palominos reached around 1.8-1.9GHz on decent air cooling with reasonable voltage. A good indicator of overclocking performance is a portion of the markings on the core. You could remove the HSF and post those if you wanted a better guess.
