    Overclocking a 1.8A GHz P4

    I'm going to buy a P4 1.8A GHz processor from newegg or so pretty soon, but I was just wondering what were the chances of this thing hitting at least 3GHz using either: watercooling, peltier, and water/peltier combination. I'm hoping to get a 100% overclock, but if I end up with 3GHz I guess I will be satisfied "ok."

    I'm going to order RAM that does 200MHz (in case we can OC by 100% 18x200MHz = 3.6GHz). I'm not too sure on which motherboard I should get. Do the SiS655 motherboards overclock well? How about the i845PE chipset? I'm not too interested in the E7205 since I'm going to limit my motherboard budget to 100-ish (flexible though).

    However, if the E7205 is that much better, or would significantly increase my chances at 200MHz FSB, then I'm all for it. I normally research this stuff myself, but I've been real busy lately (Haven't posted much in here for the past month or so) so I would greatly appreciate it if someone can suggest a motherboard that overclocks well.
