Low Budget System Build - Opinions?

That's not much of an OC (not bad for a P4 perhaps). My current CPU OC'ed from 1.8 to 3.4

Hey now, just remember that a Celeron 365 currently holds the CPU-Z world frequency record! With an old P4 631 (almost the same one as in my LAN-BOX) coming second with an OC of 8180.4 MHz! So a P4 can go higher than any C2D CPU (the highest C2D got to 6820.31 MHz-the E8600). Although the C2D would still be faster, it just shows that you can go higher with the older stuff.

Thats awesome! At my high school, few years ago one of my friends overclocked a really old system (I don't remember what the cpu was exactly, Maybe a P2? or a P1?) but it was like 600mhz and he overclocked it to like almost 2ghz lol.

This wasen't in the BIOS either, it was switches on the motherboard.
