I'm running an CUS2L with a PIII 700 cBo. Runs great at 910 MHz 1.75v and will run great at 952 MHz at1.85v but it wont bootup cold there. I have to start it out at 910 MHz and then reboot to get it up there.
I understand that burning in the CPU might help? In reading around the forum I see burning it at default speed at 100fsb, 700MHz at 1.9v and others say 133fsb,933MHz at ? voltage. Which is better? Going low then pushing it high or going high and hoping it will stay there?
Is sisoft sandra 's burn-in program a good one?

Thanks for your help

both seem to work. Try lower speed higher voltage. i would recomment Folding@Home to burn in, the new proteins are a killer on the cpu and they are really really stressing them. SiSoft Burn in is good as is prime95.
