I overclocked my system

Well I just overclocked for the first time my computer.
I have a Athlon XP 2100+ which runs at a default 1733MHz with a FSB (front side bus) of 133MHz. I also have 2x512 PC3200 DDRAM from Samsung.
Runing agressive CPU settings, the memory at default 2x133MHz BUS but with agressive CAS 2.5-2-2-5 settings, I had a PCMark04 score of 2841.
But now, I finished ovecloking the system (look at the picture) from a 133x13.0 setting to 200x9.5
So I got from 1733@266 to 1900@400, and a score in PCMark04 of 3164, which puts me in the top spot at www.futuremark.com for a system with my configuration.

Not too bad for your system.

I have a 2500+ oc'd to 3200+ speeds (1.8 default to 2.2 ghz now) and always been rock stable. But then again I have this huge heatsink and 92mm fan on it also

Does overclocking make your conscience feel funny?

My XP has less L2 and a sloer FSB, so I forced the FSB more than you. I know I did make it run at 2000MHz but with 133 FSB. When I tried it at 200x10 it resets.
Nice rig you got there. Have you increased voltage too? I didn't.

I didn't because I'm rock stable at stock voltage (1.66v). I could go to 1.7 to be safe but ive been at this area for months without a problem.

If I want to go above 2.2ghz, I have to increase voltage and mess with my RAM's timings (which are stock 2-2-2-6 which I love) and make it a little worse which I'm not gonna sacrifice so I'm perfectly fine where it is right now.

*waits for end of year/early next year to do anotehr massive upgrade*
