I've got my cheapie Athlon XP 2600+ that i've had for quite a while now, and attempting to overclock it has certainly produced good results, but inconsistant ones at that. I ran Prime 95 in the way that the makers intended it to be ran, searching for prime numbers and such. I did not run into any errors whatsoever doing this. However, as soon as i do the torture test, it gets an error within the first 10 seconds. Is this a sign of system instability, and therefore should i lower the clock a little? I am currently running it at about 2150 (stock 1900), with a Vcore of 1.750. Any suggestions as to how I can stabilize it? I've heard of burning-in, however I dont really know what specs to start out with
also, a 250 MHz overclock doesn't seem much compared to what i've heard of some people achieveing. Could it just be that my processor is old?
