I OC my E4300 to 3.0Ghz & booted XP...
But crashes in Vista..
Only 2.4 is stable in my Vista...

and? What do you want us to do?

Does OC'ing @ high speed only works stable for XP for now..??
I can't have my E4300 go even 2.6 in Vista..

Might have to do with your board having sucky drivers for Vista? I wouldn't really know. I was able to overclock great in Windows Home Server, great in Windows XP Home, and best in Windows 2000 Server on my Biostar 7025-M2 (aint that odd? 😛)

Is your next post going to be you OC'd your X2 and it works in XP and Vista?
Are you pro X2 & XP?
Pro X2 & Vista?
Pro AMD & Microsoft?
Tell us who you like and who you don't like, and we'll remember your no ones fanboy, that way we know exactly what to say to appease you.
Sound good?

Sounds a lot like Rollo and OCHungry........one a company shill and one just a dunce.

Which are you?

There is no difference in stability between XP and Vista (I run both on my 40% overclocked e6400 with absolute stability). The only difference is, as mentioned, crappy drivers in Vista, which should have been taken care of before your overclocking attempt either through Windows Update or else by downloading the latest from the Asus website.

If this is a serious request for help overclocking your processor higher, try following the steps in the sticky guide in this forum (including adjusting voltages, small increases in fsb, orthos testing for stability, etc). If that fails to help you exceed your apparent 2.4GHz limit (keep in mind that this already a 33% OC) then you should ask for help in finding something else to try.

You have solid components there that should allow you to hit 3GHz or higher with proper overclocking. However, keep in mind that no specific CPU is guaranteed to hit a particular speed when overclocked. If you absolutely must have more power you are always better off paying for the faster chip rather than hoping that a cheap one will OC well.

But obviously from people's responses, they are getting tired of your posts that seem to point to Intel sucking and AMD being better (or more "snappy" to quote your other posts).

I'd also point out the inconsistency between this thread, where he claims to be trying to OC to 2.4/3.0 Ghz, and his other post, where he's claiming that even at stock speeds, he's reaching 75C load.
