Just thought it was worth a mention. Its a good read for someone who's just getting into it and whants to know the basics.

Thanks Nandro. I was just getting ready to ask where a good guide is for a noob. I've visited many sites the last couple of days and couldn't find anything that explains it well.

According to the article, the only values you change are the FSB and the vcore. Is that correct? Are there any other values that need to be changed?

I've read conflicting accounts about which to OC first. One article I read said to start with the RAM. Another said to start with the CPU. What is the proper order to OC? And after you've done those two, is that when it's time to do your vid cards?

I usually leave the ram on auto or very loose so i know its not holding it back., then go as high on FSB as I can watching the temo, then when I reach a wall if the temps arent bad I'll up the voltage a bit and try some more. Then you can do the same withe the ram. The VC is a totally ifferent and unrelated beast.

That is all there is to Intel overclocking. Just raise the FSB while you twiddle your thumbs. This should be a walk in the park for A64 folks.

Yeah but sometimes you have to spend five minutes to look for the RAM timings. Aweful, I know.
