overclocking??
ok, i never really thought about this, but i found out reciently that what os you are useing does have some effect of overclocking abilities. 1 story from just today was that i was testing the limits of my duron 800, and i had it close to 1 ghz, it was running fine, booted into linux with a temp of about 90 F ran it for a few hours like that, temps never went about 93 that i saw, so i thought it was fine, and then i needed to go into windows to do something quick, and i went to boot into windows not giveing a second thought to my clock speed because it was fine in linux, but when i tried to go into windows ME, it completely froze. it gave me nothing but errors when i tried to go into windows until i lowered the clock speed. i just thought it was alittle weird and wasn't sure if it was a windows ME thing, a duron thing or what? so i was just wondering based on your guy's expierences, what is the best os for overclocking?
my system specs are:
duron 800
soyo sy-k7v dragon plus w/ 256 crucial pc2100 ddr ram
3dfx voodoo blaster banshee
2 western dig drives, 45 gig, 15 gig
duel nic's in parellel (3com and via onboard)
onboard sound
phillips 8X4X32 cd-rw drive
duel boot between win ME, and mandrake 8.1
