lol 26 is retirement age where he lives I guess
I should go live there, I'd love to be retired.
I can think of a few things that are worse that could happen
You're right though, unless you go crazy it's fairly safe. You can go more than 5-10MHz at a time at the beginning but when it has trouble back it down a step and then increase 5-10MHz.
If you don't go crazy (ie follow your first post) then nothing is likely to go wrong and you pretty much only have to worry about it not POSTing or not being stable enough to run windows.
I was just saying worse things can happen. Do I think you will damage anything if you overclock your system? No. If you want to give a try go for it, as long as you are careful with your voltages and temperatures there's very little to worry about

Even at stock voltage you should be able to get quite a bit more clock speed out of it. Use a program like CPU burnin (have to run a seperate instance for each CPU core) or Orthos (http://sp2004.fre3.com/) to test the stabilty

Do you think I could get 2.8Ghz outta this thing?
So here's the steps, Look good?
Lock the PCI-e bus to 100Mhz
Lock the PCI bus to 33.33Mhz
Turn all the voltages to manual but leave them as they are.
Set the V Core to 1.325v
Set the RAM voltage to 2.1v (defualt for XMS2)
Disable EIST1, Speed Spectrum and stuff like that (what are they, I forget )
Set the RAM timings to 5-5-5-15, and then 4-4-4-12 if it's stable
Set the RAM divider to 1:1
Slowly raise the FSB 5 - 10 Mhz at a time

I don't know how high it will go. I wouldn't be suprised if you could get it that high though.
The steps look ok to me. Like I said earlier, don't be afraid to raise the FSB more than 5-10MHz at the start but as it gets higher you'll want to go in smaller steps until you hit 5-10MHz at a time.
