Strategy

The Athlon XP 2400+ offers a good price/performance ratio and is a favorite amongst Thoroughbred overclocking enthusiasts. Extreme cooling will get you to 2400 MHz (though HardOCP.com, for instance, did achieve 2500 MHz with the Thermalright SLK-800 and a very aggressive 1.95v, and they also achieved 2400 MHz with average cooling), but 2200MHz or so is more likely with standard to moderate cooling. The XP 2400+ is the first Thoroughbred to be L1 factory unlocked, and you can therefore adjust the multiplier freely if you have a KT400 based motherboard.
