Overclocking Problems

I tried to overclock my 2.8 P4 800mhz fsb but couldnt get it past 3ghz, I think it has to do with crappy memory, but I put the divider so that the memory was actually running below 400mhz, so anyone have any suggestions?? Sometime soon I am planning on getting a new motherboard and cpu, probably AMD.

If you had a AMD system right now I might beable to help out a little. I've never tried OC'ing a Intel system before, but I've got 3 AMD systems at home right now........... :twisted:

if your using a via mobo then you do not have a pci/fsb lock meaning that your pci bus goes up with your fsb. if you have anything on the pci bus the it will go out of spec. and you do have things on it, the hd's network, sound. if you have sata then that would definitly be the culperate. but all of this is total speculation as i have no idea from the lack of information you provided as to what your system is like.

I'm guess you're using stock HSF with stock vcore etc...?
You'll need to give up a lot more specs of your rig if you're expecting help
