Dual boot 2000 and 98SE and overclocking

[SemperFi]

A7V with a 700 Athlon. I have it clocked to 800 and boots with no problems on both OS. @850 I can boot to 98 but not to 2000.

Is this normal or am I missing something?

Thanks!

i had the same problem, windows 2000 like more voltage than win 98

i am dualbooting 2000 and ME now, but i did have 98SE before...no problems at 522 w/ dual celeries 366's on a ABit BP6 MB, but my voltage was at 2.20...so pretty hot, just cool it w/ good internal fans.

Win2k has more stability issues when running on an OCed system. There isn't any remedy that I know of other than lowering the clock speed for Win2K/NT, but just something to point out.

How do you get the dual boot system to default boot to Win98?
Mine would only default boot to win2k.

i have no problem here with dual boot win2000 + win 98 on my p3-800@1000 asus cusl2 and p3-700@882 asus cuv4x

Open your boot.ini, change the default= part.

boot.ini is a system hiden file.

NT and 2000 tend to not like overclocking very much. They both push hardware harder than 9x and ME do.

I know - I run 14 OSs on a &quot;massively multiboot&quot; machine used to develop and test software.

i get my 650E @ 975 1.75 volts in win2k..

in win ME, i get the same overclock, but need 1.8 volts to stabilize everything.

WhiteMouse,
Thanx fer the info.

To make win2k default boot into 98
--right click on my computer, click properties
--goto advanced, click the startup/recovery button
--change the default operating system dropdown menu to &quot;microsoft windows&quot;

Hey there Semper fi!
I had the same problem on a dualboot system running on a Tyan 1854S Trinity board. Would run 50% o/c'd (500E running 5x150 @750 MHz) dead stable on the Win98 side. Booting into Win2K was a nightmare until I slowed it down to near default. Running the same CPU on a CUSL2 with Mushkin RAM, no problem running Win2K at 750. Strange, not? And to make things easier on the dual or triple booting options, System Commander is a nice solution.
