I am new to this overclocking thing so I thought I would post a message and ask for advice.
My system;
P4 2.4b 533Mhz
Asus p4s8x-x motherboard
2 x 256mb of pc2700 ddr ram
Geforce fx 5200 graphics card.
I understand the basics of overclocking but not to sure about the right way of doing it.
Any help would be good
:D :D :D :D

Don't know about your Asus's jumper-free mode, but I do know that your 2.4b could be an excellent overclocker. It should easily do 3.0 ghz by upping the FSB to 167. If you are lucky you may have got one which can run on an FSB of 170 - 180. Mine runs stable at 172 for 3.1 ghz with a full load temperature of 50ºC. With extreme cooling they can go significantly higher.
Sounds good!! I may be back to you for more advice !!
Still need to sort this jumper free mode thing out. Have emailed asus but no joy as yet , so if anyone can help at all I would be greatful and any more tips on overclocking would be great!
i also have a p4 2.4b. i got a gigabyte GA-8IE533 thermaltake 430w psu GeForce 7300 GT 256 mb DDR-2 667 mhz 80 gb hdd and a lousy 256 mb ram. i can also get my fsb to 167 and at 1.6v with no stability probs :)
i also got a zalman cpu cooler GREAT COOLERS ;) cnps7000-alcu and when i got my cpu overclocked to 3 ghz it keeps under 43c :)
Your memory will seriously hold you back from an decent oveclock i suspect
on games yes i am planning on getting some more mem but when i overclocked my cpu i ran tests before and after and the after were a lot better im just gonna get a 512 mb pc3200 for it
when i said keeps under 43c i ment it keeps under 43c when im playing games like doom 3 and so on
on idle it goes down to 29c but once i get more mem my pc will be sweet
wanna chat or sumthin my msn is dirtbagsrule@hotmail.com and my xfire is dogwizzz
ok boys and girls i got my 2.4 to 3.2 178 mhz fsb and 10% more voltage :) want a screenshot ask me
