Thanks for the welcome everyone
That was the original reason why I chose that one, because of it's overclocking potential. I'm using the latest BIOS, F5.
It does just about work, at least enough to do the things I need with it for uni, but it is annoying not being able to use the full potential of the cpu. As for the upgrade I'm undecided if I should replace it sooner, with another AM2+, or wait until AM3 comes along. (That would mean CPU upgrade as well, but as mentioned I'll setup the 5000 as a dedicated cruncher.)
Any suggestions?
Welcome Stewart, that was a nice intro. We look forward to any contributions on the forum.

Welcome sgtsampay!
Indeed, the boinc (and non-boinc projects) are great ways of using those spare cycles.
Of course, many of us have a habbit of "making" spare cycles for these projects
Happy crunching!
Nice to have you around sgtsampay.
