P4 Northwood 3.4ghz to its current 3.9ghz.
It seems very fast.Current idle temp is 32C.
Max is about 52C after 30 mins of BF2 with 6xAA and 16xAF.
ps. thats a mean video card O/C Bob.

Voltage @1.6V, "things" get out of hand @1.7V (extremely fast temperature rise to the point of meltdown if you aren't fast)

Ehm, by buying?

I bought them cheap on EBay, actually I bought 2 and they went well, so I bought 4 more (the most expensive one being $30)
The next challenge was a fan and heatsink, one from a "E" works WELL (the one with the radial design and copper insert), though a conventional P4 heatsink and fan will do the trick @2.4
Mainboards were not a "problem" either, well other than a mis-step with a Gigabyte board that sucked.
Ram, it was the ram that was expensive, getting ram that would go to 250mhz.

Everything else, I tend to be happy with 20% and leave it at that. For example, I have a few 2.5 Bartons running @ 3.0. I'm PUI so my mathematics might be off, but that is 1/5th or 20%, right?
