Your PCI bus is running at the wrong clockspeed. actually, one of the reasons i use the BP6 is the 1/3 PCI divisor you get at 92MHz FSB. at 550MHz, the only things being taxed are the CPUs. > Now what do you think is responsible for your timing trouble? as i said, SMP appears to be the weak link. oooh, gosh, intel doesn't support SMP in celeron.. > I don't care if you overclock, but I'm fed up of people bleating here about > their overclocked systems not working. did anything in my message sound the least bit like a complaint?? > Let's consider an analogy.
