Win2k + overclocked system = no go?

[stuartb]

I've heard Win2k has probs with this...I love Win2k for apps and game support is up-to-snuff but if its unstable...I'd haveto use win98..and win98 doesnt handle video editing very well (since 4gb+ files), any comments?

Have win2k and o/c 700 to 1gb. No problem and stable.

If a system is properly overclocked every single app should run with the same reliability as it would at the default speed. If it doesn't than the system is truly stable at the overclocked speed. That said, my Celeron @850 runs flawlessly in Linux and Win2k.

No problem with a 550E@733 and up to 825. I'll soon have a C2 hopefully at 1ghz

All of you seem to be running Intel, or is the person with 700@1000 a AMD?
If not I need some AMD peoples response

I have an AMD classic 800@900 stable of course but ill let you know as soon as I can install 2k to my second HD. SO far I cant get past the boor from cdrom option. ill let you know what happens though.

A7V tbird 700 @ 800. I tried higher 98 would boot higher 2000 would not. I had the voltage maxed could not get higher. In fact I tried lowering voltage from 1.85 at 800mhz figured if that was the highest speed I could use I should try to lower heat. Anyhow I dropped voltage one step and 2000 won't boot.

I did see a modification to Asus A7V on toms hardware to get more voltage therefore more MHZ. I haven't tried it but I am thinking about it.

600e@858 =142fsb , infact believe this or not but i had been running dual boot with win98 (didnt really use win98 much at all) na di could never boot into win98 with my current overclock , but with win2k it's a brezze

My system is fine in win2k..rock solid...only problems i start seeing is some data corruption when i o/c the fsb.. for instance i was at 980 for a while and everything was stable but when i was unraring certain large sets of winrar files, it would corrupt on random rars.. did the same thing in windows 98.. so i just run it at 950 to be safe now.

Reinstall win2k at stock and then OC...tried that??

do what AoD recommends. start at default and then o/c slowly. i'm running happily at 700@952 w/ 1.75v.

Thunderbird 700@1000mhz 100% stable win2k, linux, win98!

Joker-nice t-bird: most I see only go about 200mhz over default clock

I have a 1GHz Tbird overclocked to 1.2GHz and my son has a 700MHz Duron overclocked to 1GHz. We are both running Abit KT7 Raid Motherboards, and are able to change the processor speed on the fly. The only problem we have had is if you push the processor over its limits. Until the processor locks up, we have had no trouble with W2K.
