I have a Dragon kt333 ultra platinum edition , with a palomino xp2100+ , so my question is How the hell can I overclok that ?
I was trying but everytime I did I got errors or just didn't boot .

What is the limit of this cpu ? how to set the mobo for better result , I mean for as least one result .

What kind of cooling do you have?

Looks like from this database some get up to 1980 using air cooling.

I'd increase the bus speed in increments of 3 till you get the sweet spot. Your ram could be holding you back too.

Perhaps others who have used this mobo will have some better tips for you.

Start by making sure your mem is running 1:1 with your bus. Try relaxing your timings on your mem also. Then (at stock voltage) start increasing the fsb. When it doesn't post, or is unstable, start upping the vcore. Do this all in small steps and test your results for stability with prime95 or sandra burn in. I test my systems with sandra burn in, prime95 and 3dmark all looping. If it makes it 24hours, I would say it's stable Good Luck!!!

those palominos are a tough overclock - i could barely get anything out of mine with air cooling

I reached the max at 1766 wuuuuuaaaaaaaaaa likea shittttt.
I would like a little bit more ut at 1800 the screen frozen.
