Unless you unlock the multiplier on your Duron, you won't be able to overclock very much. It's based on 100mhz FSB & probably won't run at 1.6Ghz (12 x 133fsb). However, if you unlock it, you can lower your multiplier to say, 10x...which will put you at 1.33Ghz. You may even be able to get a little more out of it. If you don't unlock it, you'll have to experiment. Raise your FSB a little at a time. I'm running my 1.2 Duron (still locked at 12x) at 110fsb...that's the best I can do, probably because of either memory, PCI or AGP issues. But I've read that others have gotten their's to run up to 120.

You may wanna consider getting an Athlon XP to get the most outta your system. Last time I looked, the XP 1700 was going for about $50...the XP 2100 for about $85...above that, the prices take a big jump.
