I just don't over clock the CPU until I upgrade to a new computer, then I overclock the old one. I just have bad memories of trying to over clock my P2 400, I thought it was a 4x100 but the CPU was 6x66. I didn't find that out until I opened up the case on the CPU, and that what the broad said, so some #@$% sold me a cheaper CPU instead of the correct CPU. The problem was I found out 10 years to late and the company that sold me the CPU was out of business.

Overclocking the 8400 doesn't do anything for my games that I play on it, they are all bottle necked by the GPU, and I play MAME on my P4 3GHz, 95% of the time anyway. When I get a new computer the old computer becomes the 'new' MAME machine. The new computer normally gets a new HD, video card and MB/CPU, so I can up the can keep the HD in the old computer.
