9500pro is a DX8 card also isnt it? i dont think its a DX9, so they're pretty much about the same level there.
im not the best at overclocking. theres websites that list processors and how good they are to overclock. it also depends on your motherboard,
some like mine just have a simple little option in the bios of what speed you want the processor to run at.
P4's are 'usually' from what i hear better to overclock the the AMD's the AMD's run hotter to begin with. Not sure about AMD's but from what i hear P4's will autmaticall lower themselves when they get warmer, or shut themselves down if they get too hot. Keeps them from overheating or burning up.
I personally have 4 case fans, (then the processor fan and the GFX card fan), but i soddered them all to a switch panel on the front of the computer that i made. so i only turn on that fans i want. i usually have one fan sucking air in frrom the front or top. and the other blow it out.
I mean there are risks. and its not really needed when you already have a 2.66. I did it out a curiosity really. and will prolly lower it back down so i can feel better about shutting down another fan. really its so later on I'll know how when i actually do need the upgrade in speed.
I'll have to look up the websites again that talk about it
