    You may not need to raise the vcore voltage like I did if you have a decent enough power supply.
    At the time my psu was a 300watter which just wasn't stable enough for my system.
    Since then I have built a computer for one of my workmates but I took the 350w psu out of the new case and put it in mine temporarily until I get hold of a 550watter. It's running very stable now so maybe I can drop the vcore again.

    I tried that PCWizard myself tonight and it caused havoc with Asus probe. Asus probe is very temperemental isn't it.

    Play a game or two to stress your system (QuakeIII)
    If it survives, you've cracked it.

    True but the Probe doesnt actually "do" anything so "havok" shouldnt be a problem -- SiSoft does the same thing.

    1. Quake3 isnt a stressful application.... hell my P3-800 with a GF2MX can play that
    2. Even if you test it on a more strenous game like say UT2004, it may not bring out all the kinks :)

    What would i expect to see if having problems due to the overclocking?

    What would you suggest as a decent stress test then Praetor. Prime 95 or something similar?

    Stalling (i.e., mass lag at random intervals when playing games) or rebooting or freezing or artifacts

    As i said before, you could try to play two high intensity video games simultaneously although this may be more of atest of video card performance than actual CPU/Memory subsystem. Alternatively you could play one hardcore videogame and then try some movie encoding simultaneously. :)
