I've got a 750 Athlon, and I'm wondering how far it will overclock. I'm currently running it at 850, just by doing the pencil trick. I can get it to run at 876, but it's not too stable. I can set it at 893 but it won't boot into XP. I'm using a Abit KT7-RAID motherboard, 384mb PC133 ram, and an OEM style heatsink/fan.

There is no sure way of predicting how high. Trial and error will tell you. My overclocks have allways been temperature limited. That is, I've allways run out of cooling before the chip gave up. If you check the CPU database on the front page, you'll see that some people have gotten theirs very high. Over a gig should be within reach, provided that you have good cooling. Remember, with your board you can't run the FSB too high, so it'll mostly be the multiplier. What do you have the voltage set to? And how are your temps?
