For now it seems that I have hit a brick wall I think its one of my cards maybe even my crapy ata33 hard drive.
This is what I have.
Intel Celeron2 633@980
16 meg TNT2 (crap)
Netgear FA311 network card 10/100mb card(nice for a good price)
Sound Blaster 16bit PCI(Creative modle)
Fujitsu 20 gig HD ATA 33 (I think)
Tekrap S3PRO-AU Motherboard.
1 stick PC133
1 stick PC100
but to get 1gig its only running a FSB of 105.

So what does anyone else think.I'm thinking either the HD, Vid card, or Winblowz.
I am going to format before the night is over.

you might want to try running only 1 stick of memory...sometimes there are issues running 2

I think youve done a pretty good job so far, if you were to run a program like Seti 24\7 for a month or even join the guys in the Seti forum and keep running it theres a good chance that you can burn in at your new speed and in a month you may get a few more MHZ out of her, I was stuck at 1255 for a month and then with running Seti the burn in worked I just tried going higher for the kicks and i could not believe that the new speeds stuck and its stable at 1285. One note this CPU was already burned in when i first overclocked but i think its just taking to the new high CV.

So your saying that F@H isn't as good of a burn in as Seti?

I never said that, i just have no exsperience with F@H to give an opinion I prefere Seti and i know it so that would be why i recommend it.
