I can never just leave well enough alone and always end up playing around with and tweaking my old hardware.
Anyway for a while now I've wanted to see what the best speed I could get out of this 1.4 is and with a small wire mod to the socket on an Asus TUSL2-C to give it some extra voltage I think I've got my answer. It seems stable so far at 1700, crashed in 3D Mark 2001 at 1711 and it will post at 1733 but will not successfully boot into Windows.
I'll post some pics of the wire mod and the system later today or maybe tomorrow but the specs are as follows:
Asus TUSL2-C
2 x 256MB PC133 CL2 RAM
EVGA Quadro FX 3000 256MB
64GB CF card for storage
Some quick benchmark results:

I'm definitely going to experiment with running the ram at a higher speed too when I can find some time.
