Default My new OC!!!

So I've been keeping my P4 2.8 @ 3.5 for the last several months but tonight I got ballsy. I cranked my FSB up to 264 bringing my CPU up to a nice even 3.7GHz. So far it's been really stable. I've played Oblivion and done a few other things without so much as a hiccup! I'm pretty pleased with this old entry level Prescott chip. I think my next investment will be the Nautilus 500 watercooling system. Then my new build this winter!
Is it just me or does the super pi time seem kinda slow?

Nice o/c. Looks plenty stable to me. Especially if you've been playing Oblivion on it. Oblivion is extremely sensitive to overclocked rigs and instability.

Do a 32m pi. 3700 @ ~3ghz does 25minutes more or so.

Not being a *jerk*, but anything over 25s for a 1m is to slow for me.
