Do you realize that the "WCPUID" in your first screen shot shows a multiplier of "0.0"???

That's a good trick!

Guess somebody needs some glasses.

That FSB is insane... that PCI bus is even more insane! What timings are you running that RAM at? What kinda components can actually handle a 47mhz PCI bus?

I guess someone is in need for an excuse to upgrade pci cards and hard drives.

No offensive, how can you consider it stable without run a prime95 with 64 to 128 mb or memory used?

What's bios version do you runing?

I don't need to run prime to test stability, since a can run all 3d apps (3dmark01/SE/03, games direct3d, opengl) toast, pcmark, seti, video encoding full load .exe, sound editing, etc, i just don't use prime it's an old prog, but i can do the bench with it, without any problem @218Mhz!!!
Bios that i used was K5A32A25

nice O/C I have the same board and an Athlon XP1600 I'm at 166FSB and that's as high as I care to go...I don't want to be replacing PCI cards like mad. I wish this board had the 1/6 PCI divisor...it would have so much more O/C potential. I plan on unlocking my chip this weekend and going for higher multipliers to get more speed out of my chip at default PCI speeds. I just don't have the care at all to go over spec speeds on my PCI and AGP buses. I'll let everyone know how it goes in a post soon to come.
