That's a bit more than usual for people. Ever think of cutting back on your overclocking just a WEE bit? Overclocking your processor to DEATH is kind of self-defeating, isn't it? I mean, an overclocked 2400+ is always going to be faster than a stock 2400+, until it's dead that is. At which point the stock 2400+ pulls ahead.

ROOFLE!!! my stock 2400+ owns your oc'ed (dead) 2400+

Talking about OC'ing, I just tried to OC an AMD K6-2 450 to 500mhz (changed the multiplier to 5x instead of 4.5x). Cooling wasn't a problem since the heatsink it has was rated for SocketA/370. Just 1 minute and the thing started acting weird. Put it back to 450mhz. Now, its not stable at all, corrup[ts harddrives and just reboots out of a nowhere. A whooping 50mhz OC is all it took...:(
