I only had 30mins to play since I had a phone call to go watch Thursday Night Fights.

Epox 8R3DA+ 1.1
Athlon XP 2400+ Retail 11x200FSB
Corsair XMS PC 3200
Windows XP Pro

Running 1.7 voltage on the CPU as of now. I had it running 11 x 200 FSB. I watched 3Dmark2001 for the first 16 tests than went to the shower. It looks like it crashed because I came out to the Desktop :(

SO any advice is appreciated. I was wondering what is a safe voltage for my CPU if I only plan on using it for 6 months or so? What are normal FSB overclocks on these chips? I noticed not many run on a 200+FSB?

Thnaks everyone.

you locked pci in spec right?
i think that should lock the agp in spec as well

run prime95 for a while and see if its the cpu (around 5-6hrs atleast)
is the vidcard oced at all?

try raising the vcore a bit to 1.75, it should be aite there

i havnt heard any sudden tbred death syndrome reports like the northwood...personaly id go 1.75v if i had to in order for stability

Crashing to desktop, (from my experiences) is usually memory problem.
Try memtest86 too.

if this is the case, raise Vdimm as well a bit

but before that, relax the timings
