My duron is week 29 retail. I have an alpha pal6035 and an abit kt7 motherboard. I also have mushkin pc 133 222 ram. The cpu will only work at 850mhz. I can not go faster. I can run with relatively no problems at this speed. What can I possibly do to make it run faster. I have seen that the two retail week 29's at overclockers workbench would do 1 gig easy. I am surprised that the same week I have would only do 850. BTW I have two and it is the same for both. The voltage is at 1.825 and 8x100. The cpu temp is around 42-45 while in use and 38-39c while not in use. What is this about the cache? Could I have it set too fast? Where is the setting for it in the kt7 bios? thanks

This thread saddened me so much. I too also have a Week 29. Still waiting for my mobo to get here. I have seen couple people on this forum where they couldn't get Week 29 to go higher than 850MHz.

Well the ones at overclockers workbench went 1 gig but both of mine will not post at 950 (9.5x100) I guess it is luck of the draw and we did not get the long stick. Of course the performance difference can not be much.
