I got my Barton 2500+ to 2.2 GHz with shit RAM on an Abit NF7-S Rev. 2.0. That's easily as good as a 2.4 P4 C Core. I hear the Pentium 4 C cores OC really good, but frankly I don't know anything about overclocking a Pentium 4. I know that if you go more than a few hundred MHz then you have to go water-cooling or even vapor cooling in some cases.

My Barton 2500+ went to 2.2 GHz with a Volcano 7+ CPU fan, which is about $30 US.

And the Abit NF7-S on-board sound is amazing. It's literally better than most sound cards you can buy; it even has a built-in Fiber-Optic Dolby Digital jack. They don't call it SoundStorm for nothing.
