How overclockabe is a T-bird 1.2?

[dyne]

okay, within the next week im getting some "hand me down parts" from my brother, some of which include his old Gigabyte GA-7ZX mobo, 750M pc 133 ram (plus what i have will push over the 1000+ mark) and a 1.2G T-bird. ill be dual booting both Windows 2000/XP and was wondering how overclockable the T-bird would be. Im also running an IBM Deskstar 40G 60 GPX hdd and a Diamond Viper 770 Ultra 32M card. would it be advisable to jump to at least the Geforce 2 or am i still okay considering all the other components? right now im mainly using my pc for design apps (photoshop, quark, illustrator) but really want to get back into games with features turned on thanks for any replies.

With good cooling, all modern steppings of the 1.2ghz tbird can hit 1.5-1.6ghz.

you can see a lot of overclocking results at <A HREF="http://www.overclockers.com" target="_new">http://www.overclockers.com</A> on the CPU database section.

That's not true. I can hardly get my 1.2GHz T-Bird over 1.35GHz. It's definitely not the cooling, it's the voltage that's holding me back. 1.85V isn't enough. Don't forget that the 1.2GHz T-Bird is an AXIA not an AJHYA (is the the right code for it?).

A: I said all modern steppings

Axia, ayjha etc/

B: not all 1.2ghz tbirds are of those steppings, there were many 1.2ghz tbirds which arent of those steppings.

C: going over 10% more voltage dosent really help, and the gains are diminishing.

D: WHat stepping is your cpu, because if it is an axia you have a rare dud on your hands.

My AXIA 1ghz Athlon can do 1.5, so don't rule out the AXIA steppings, they are still considered by many the best overclocking batch of Athlons ever.
