Supposedly they didn't spend a huge amount of time optimizing this feature, so you will probably only see a 15-20% performance increase.

A good mouse pad can make a difference with optical mice - not necessarily for tracking accuracy (although it can help), but for the smooth surface. I use this stuff on a home-made mousepad with teflon tape on the mouse feet:

It really does make a difference for FPS games. There is a long thread in the Hot Deals section of the Anandtech forums extolling the virtues of this stuff.

principa...you know its dangerous pushing the CPU past 220HTT on that board right?? we could fry our vid cards and PCI cards since there is no AGP/PCI lock
the bus on those two get increased and might start messing up stuff...also hard drive corruption occurs..for that fact, im going to get me a DFI Lanparty NF3 250GB board..

I'm doing 1475 Mhz to 2500 Mhz (or more) on air which was not uncommon with a DULTC stepping (1.5 volt Athlon XP CPUs). 99% of all the XP Tbred CPUs were 1.6 volt though.
Then the mobiles started coming out in force and my ol DULTC was not so special anymore =D
Amazing what a $60.00 CPU and a $40.00 half a pound block of copper can do.
But I am oh so tempted to get one of the new 3200 Venice CPUs! Good number of people are getting real good OCs on air with em (in the 500-800 Mhz gain range).

I have maxed out this little box.
I left a PCI slot "opened" next to the AGP slot for cooling
OLD GAME BOX:

P3 800
512MB ram (MAXED)
Geforce4 TI4200 128MB (More then enough for this older processor)
I turned down ALL the graphics in the game for this box. But it does not look that bad.
They both work very well. Nothing is overclocked.
