The CPU I have is an AMD Athlon 2000+ and I'm running an Abit KD7A mobo. I can get the system to overclock no problem; I've had it as high as 1.8 Ghz(Stock speed is 1.67Ghz), but the system starts behaving abnormally then. When I push it to 1.725 ghz or 1.75 Ghz, the system behaves just as it should, but linux starts going screwy. I can never get past INIT running, it refuses to start any of my processes or mount the drives. Could this be just a fluke of overclocking and nothing I can do about it? Or is there a setting somewhere in the kernel? Thank you for any help. Tom The only thing you can get some more out of that machine without crashes etc is to set the vcore voltage higher. I have a Duron 850 running at 1100Mhz, that only went up to 950 with standard vcore, after raising vcore I was able to go up to 1100. Also make sre you have got good memory chips, if you don't have any good ones, don't tune them in bios. Just checkout some overclocking sites and you get lots of info on how to really overclock without loosing stability. I usually run 24h tests with 100%CPU time to make sure, that everything is ok. I used to do a lot of overclocking, my first overclocked box was a pentium 75 at 90Mhz, but nowadays I kind of lost interest in it, cpus are so fast lately and need quality coolers etc, years ago we build the cooling ourselves, now you pay $50 for a cooler, so it kind of got expensive without much benefit. My latest box(XP 2400+) is rather trimmed for silence, you can't hear my server at all, if you don't look at the lights, you won't know it is on or off. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
