Just overclock the FSB. If you have high-quality RAM, you can probably get from 133MHz to 150 without any problems. 12*150 = 1800MHz or the performance of the Athlon XP 2200+

AMD technology + Intel technology = Intel/AMD Pentathlon IV; the <b>ULTIMATE</b> PC processor

AMD_Man is right, try FSB oc first, when you reach the max FSB only then attempt to mess with the multiplier.

Everyone has been asking that. No you can't use silver thermal paste (aka Artic Silver) as it is engineered to be non-conductive. Your best bet is to get an automotive rear defrost repair kit from any hardware store.

Any decent/large electronics store should have the lacquer, although the rear demister repair kit could be a cheaper option. I got a conductive pen from an electronic shop and it worked fine, although it was a bit expensive. There is a web site on my pen, www.chemtronics.com, if you are interested.
