After losing my OS many time (Microshaft sucks!). I have my computer running stable.

It was a 1gig athlon 200 FSB with 576mb PC133 Micron ram on an EPOX 8KTA3+ MOBO

It now runs at 1.22Gig 212 FSB and the ram is stabel at 141. The CPU temp is running 36C/96F under moderate use - which is good considering my stock heatsink with no OC'ing was running it at 117F. I am using a Volcano 6cu heatsink with artic silver - the as didn't make a difference at first but after running for several days I see the temps still droping!

My L1 bridges are unlocked, I have a more than decent heatsink for my comps uses and needs and still have 9 fans - down from 13. Any other suggestions on tweaking more out of my comp? If I raise my multiplier from 11.5x - where it is now to 12x my OS crashes, how do I make that more stable or am I topped out?

Thanks!

I will post screen shots of my scores on SANDRA and 3D MARK 99 soon - trying to get my two computers to network each other but for some odd reason they do not want to talk to each other, and ''sneaker net'' is no fun!

CORE - 1.8 (+.050v)
VAGP - 1.5 (default)
VIO - 3.4 (defualt)

my BIOS will let me select up to a 14x multiplier - so I tweaked my VCORE to +.100V which brings me to 1.85 and set the multiplier to 12x - which brings me to 1.272Gig - we will see how stable that is - also while sitting idle my cpu temps dropped to 86F....
