Overclocking - Who's done it?

ive overclocked a celeron.. and a p2..
anyone else notice that when you turn off the level 2 cache on the celeron, you get approx 20 fps lower in timerefresh? (20 fps in timerefresh = 10 fps in game normally..)

also, bus speed DOES make a difference for quake, at least on my system..
p2-350 running at 434 MHZ (124mhz bus speed) gave me the exact same performance as a celeron 333 at 500 MHZ (100mhz bus speed).. same motherboard/gfx card etc.
i doubt its the gfx card creating the bottleneck (even though its a 2.5 yr old Virge/VX card), cos the p2-350 at 392 MHZ
gave the same performance as the celeron 333 at 416 MHZ (83 MHZ bus speed)... in quake

the only thing i can think of to account for this relatively large performance difference is the bus speed..

the p2-350 runs at 466 mhz too (133mhz bus speed), but overheats after 5 mins cos i have no cpu fan for it..

The TNT with an AGP 2X bus provides completely ridiculous texture transfer rates to the card. No chance of a bottleneck for years to come. The TNT moves textures at twice the rate of the Voodoo III (yes 3).

As for overclocking your TNT, the Creative Labs one is pretty **** really. Unless you lash a fan and a bigger heat sink onto it. THe Canopus Spectra (or something) one is much better, integrated fan and dirty heat sink jobby. You'll also need software to overclock the memory/core. The software with the Creative only lets you overclock memory speed, but theres a wossname called "Gamer's Assistant" that lets you do both on any TNT. I tried it out, lashed everything up to maximum and my machine kept working. So I know for definite the software DOESN'T work. There is no WAY my TNT runs as fast as it says it is, without melting anyways. You can't overclock the memory by much at the moment because I don't think many TNT's come with good enough performance SGRAM.
