So isnt that the 2x4400+ stock speed?

If it is iw ill b saving about £80 ? buy just "overclocking" thats top tbh, will try on this pc first then move on to the new 1

Nope, it will never be an X2 4400 no matter what you do to it. The X2 3800+ has 512Kb L2 Cache whereas the X2 4400+ has 1MB L2 Cache.

An overclocked X2 3800+ @ 2.5Ghz is faster than an X2 4600+ (which also has 512Kb L2 Cache)

Well thats ace but just need to be able to do it lmao, Do you think it will be capable with that cooling and that ram and mobo ?

young lad said:
Is there any way to revers the overclocking if my pc fails to boot for some strange reason or another ?

Or would i ned to boot up the pc to change it?

Cheers guys

Yup, I'm sure I explained it in the other thread. Theres a jumper on the mobo which will allow you to clear the settings back to default.
