Have you verified within windows that you are getting that clock(CPU-z)?

Palomino's run very HOT no matter what you do. They are pos's and don't OC worth crap. The most I could ever get outta mine was 134xstock mutli

The Tbred B was ussually a pretty good overclocker, the 1700+ I seem to remember being able to do completly insane things.

Also, your trouble just might be the Biostar mainboard. I've used lots of boards in my time and never have I come across something ****tier than Biostar.

Oh..if the computer slowed down after the overclock...perhaps you shouldn't overclock. Raising the PCI bus like that can cause internal errors in the NB/SB and mess everything up, which could certainly cause the slowdowns you're describing.

Ditto .... Trios was spot on about the PCI bus speed and errors I think.
That is where the nForce2 boards with their PCI lock was nice.

And yeah, the Tbred B 1700/1800 are great OCers. Especially the 1.5v variety (DLT3C)
