Hey, I have a 900mhz tbird on an msi k7t turbo+raid mobo with 1 256mb sick of micron sdram (no ddr). I dont know the cas latency.
I'm also using a volcano 2 hsf from thermaltake and some generic thermal grease from radio shok ("radio shok heat-sink compund"). I currently have my cpu at 1000mhz and i think i can go higher. I havent unlocked my cpu, so im just tweaking the fsb. Ive gotten up to like 1050 if i remember right, and it would run fine with all progs, but when i reset the computer for whatever reason (or turn it off and back on) it wouldnt boot. (it was kinda random whether it would boot or not but it was only when it was OCd over 111fsb. Sometimes the comp would boot after leaving it off a few minutes (i assume thats heat related) but sometimes it would boot with the default fsb settings :/
As you can see, theres no specific questions, just open to ideas. Oh, i should also say that i have not altered the voltage at all, only the fsb, so maybe I should do that. Let me know. Thanks!

also, any tips for getting more performance out of my vid card would be appreciated. i have a radeon LE with the registry hacked to perform like a regular radeon ddr, and OCd to 185mhz or so. the problem is that i dont know if the registry hack ive always used is working on my new os (XP). I don't want to go back to my old os to benchmark and compare. And all of the registry hacks for radeon tweaker don't seem to take when i apply them. I think its set for 98/me only. If anyone knows a radeon registry tweakerish prog that works for xp (or maybe 2000) let me know. thank you again!
