    Howdy.Iv had this for a while now so im thinkin of overclocking the bugger.Under Sandra2005 it says the processor is Duron M8 and Athlon XP/MP and Sempron(Thoroughbread) 130nm 1.5-2.5Ghz+1.5-1.65V.Whats the best and safest way to overclock it,and does the 2.5Ghz part mean that it should go to that speed no problemo(without after market cooling)its currently at 2.08Ghz the votltage is at 1.63V.Cheers.

    Overclocking anything without after market cooling is usually a bad idea. How is your CPU temp with stock cooling?

    333DDR memory limits your FSB to 166 without overclocking the mem too.
