Have you found out that it's possible to reach the 5Ghz mark?
Tom's hardware did it with liquid nitrogen cooling and a custom copper pipe on a copper base attached the to the cpu. 5.225 ghz is what they reached.
I cover my bases...
1)Xbox w/xecuter 2.6 solderless
2)Ps2 (slim) w/DMS4 Lite
3)Ps2 V7 w/DMS4 Lite and 200 Gig Maxtor HDD
4)GC w/qoob pro

I would hold off on buying any cpu's right now. With the launch of intels conroe due in about a week, you can expect some big time price cuts from both intel and amd. Intel is even expected to move the pentium class cpu's "to a level not previously addressed by this brand." . http://www.tgdaily.com/2006/07/19/intel_to_launch_quad_core_in_q4...

My point on the 5Ghz mark is that without some major cooling (and wasting f money really) it'll be hard for s3a to clock his P4 to that, especialy with air or watercooling.
s3a to be perfectly honest you'd do better to save up some money and buy a new system as most of your parts are getting out of date which is why they won't be able to handle newer games too well.
I'm getting this problem with my system (in sig) and so am going to be building a Conroe system in mid September with mid-high range gear to have a system that can play current games easily and will be able to play future games aswell as loads of demanding multitasking and CPU/RAM intensive programs.
What I have;
AMD Althon 3000+ 2.0ghz Socket 754 - Clocked to 2.40ghz - Stable
Akasa LED cooler - AK-855-BL
Winfast NFS250 motherboard
Winfast GeForce 6200TD - Unlocked to 8 pipelines and increased mhz, better preformance than 6600vanilla
1256MB Kingston DDR RAM
500W Magna PSU - ATX500W
DVD Reader
DVD±RW
1 Blue and Red LED case fan
1 Blue, Green and Red LED case fan
What I am getting;

I can always add more RAM...I can overclock my CPU a bit....and as for gfx cards...I don't mind playing next-gen games on current-gen gfx...for the moment (until my gfx card is completely obsolete)
______
If you always catch deals like my 3.0 Ghz CPU which was on sale because it was losing popularity bcuz of new cpu's...can PC's cost less than buying, say a 360 (and the system after that...and maybe ever after that one)? (in the long run of course)
If I insult you...don't get offended...my insults are "friendly insults"...I know this sounds stupid (ridiculous) but I am fet up of writing, "no offense" in my posts...
My Comp: (will add specs later)

That board may not support bus speed locking then. Being an ECS board, I wouldn't be surprised.

Yes you can still OC the CPU (well, the bus speed) but not without taking the AGP and PCI bus speeds up with it, which limits how far you can go before encountering stability problems.

hmm, may be a problem with your board then. I personally wouldn't attempt an overclock on an ECS board.

It may be that your Serial ATA controller doesn't function at higher than stock speed then.All I can say is either try a new board, or get a PCI card with Serial ATA on it.

I wouldn't have thought so. You wouldn't be the only one to have difficulty with integrated S-ATA controllers, and S-ATA cards can be quite cheap. I'd try it, and see how it goes.

Pretty much, they are regarded as one of the best motherboard manufacturers.
