Here is a screenshot of the new NVidia control panel that came with the 91.28 drivers and the BETA of NTune. I think I did ok, but not sure if I could go more with my X2 4400+?

Also, I would love to see some sort of CPU "calculator" type web link (to maybe an Access database?) wilh pull downs where you can select what CPU you have, and then first off, stock info (like multiplier, voltage, etc) would show for at least someone to start off with (I have yet to see a website with an acumulation of CPU specs), then perhaps from data gathered from successful (and STABLE) OC's, more pull downs with speeds you would like to achieve, and it would automatically show you most of the typical BIOS settings. This would be killer if it has not yet been done. If so, please send me a link?

Thanks all!

Overclockers.com has a CPU Overclock Database That has quite a few overclocks entered. It doesn't have a lot of entries, but still gives you an idea. For processor specs, there are several resources. First and foremost are manufacturer websites:

• AMD Desktop Processor Quck Compare
• Intel Processor Numbers and Specifications

I've also found THIS Website to be fairly accurate and useful (too bad it doesn't look like he is updating it anymore since the last update for the AMD processors was February 2005).

Thanks, nice links, though not exaxtly what I was hoping for. The one only shows what some say they got out of theirs, not the actual settings. But it does look like at 2.5, and with ASUS Probe showing temps at 37c/37c, my system is both stable and cool with normal air cooling. So guess I should be happy. Its just that I must have a bottleneck somewhere, cause the 3Dmark06 results show I am mid pack compared to others with similar parts. But hey, it sure beats a meltdown or constant BSOD's though! :)

Thanks!
