I was reading an article on OCing a 6600 ..
It said to keep upping the FSB untill the computer wont boot. Then to lower it a bit, so it will, and run the test...

Shouldnt you up it, then test, and go as high as you can stable?

well i've had it up to a 98% oc on air, that's 3.68ghz. anything is possible if you are determined enough. everything i know about oc'ing, i've learned from these boards and experience. never read a 'how-to' article on the subject in my life.
