Sorry but please type correctly, i cant understand a lot of what you said.

As for whether 2.2 -> 2.4 is good, will frankly no that is not really a significant overclock, and you will not see anyd difference in performance excpet on bench marks. Read oc 101

Right, you see the butons on your keyboard that are like like a dot (.) and the one thats like a longer dot (,) this is called punctuation. And the shift key also makes letters CAPITAL. Try using them and then post back in plain english. As for a 0.2Ghz increase, no its nothing to be proud of and im sure that a 3500+ can go way higher than 2.4Ghz.

As for waht you need to do to get a "gd clock", well, increase FSB until the system fails to boot properly and then increase voltage (vcore) to the CPU.

go to www.overclockers.com and register to look at the CPU DATABASE and see what others got and what combinations they used to get there.

whilst i agree this is a good resource, it should be noted that no two chips are alike, and you may not be able to reproduce someone oc even with an identical spec.

For starters, what core do you have in that proc and what vCore, vDimm, memory type and timings? (yes you should know this stuff)
