Overclocking the A4(computer techies)

I just have my A4 overclocked, core voltage set at APR V3.0. Been running steadily for days and weeks, no crashes. All driving games runs so much faster now, and more realistic(you actually get real speeding tickets). Scenery refresh rate now is much higher once you floor it. I have also upgraded the exhaust bus bandwidth to 3". The bottle neck now is KO3 Turbo hard drive, I would expect to get better result if I can upgrade to a ATA100 KO4 Turbo hard drive. But then I have to switch to a faster GIAC CPU. What's next? Bigger cooler?

What's your FPS now for the driving sim? You using OpenGL or Direct3D? ..

Next upgrade for the system? You have your bus speed up using Intercooler 133 MHZ speed (for Intel, 200MHZ for AMD). Seems like a waste for the K04 if it doesn't have the input airflow bandwidth. Of course maybe you were going to do both at the same time. Wait do I mean intake or intercooler.. oh boy.. shows how much I know about engine mods! I guess I stick to overclocking computers for now.. Boy this 366 Celeron runs great at 550!
