Going to overclock the A1G3XE to 1Ghz!!!!!!!

nothing wrong with overclocking, but make sure you do it in small steps"a couple of mhz", then check for any signs of stability problems.. if its ok, up it some more and so on   :-)

Yes, you are crazy. Overclocking is nuts. Why not just break your CPU now and save all those hours of work and uncertainty? :crazy:

You dont break it if you do it with caution... Sure, if you up the fsb/multipelere all the way up at once, then yeah... you can hurt it really bad..

But when you do it in small steps, one mhz at a time...

Actually many processors is actually a higher model just downclocked... For example those AMD xp1700 throughbred cpus, they are actually XP2400+ or higher...

Overclocking the FSB is generally more tricky than CPU overclocking

Not really... thats usually the only way to do it these days, unless you unlock the cpu. Most of todays cpu has sadly locked multipilere, i dunno if the g3 has it though...

FSB overclocking is not affected by this lock.. though you might be a bit limited since you cannot adjust the multipilere.
