    i dont want to burn my laptop out so are these settings to much?
    original settings are
    AMD Athlon 64x2 duel core running @ 1.8 GHz
    new settings are below.
    i used ntune to overclock did a stability test and it passed all 34 tests without any hangups, so any info/help will do as i'm new ot overclocking.

    As long as the processor is cool and the computer is stable then it is okay. I had a 400MHz OC on my AMD TL-50 (250*8) from 1.6-2.0GHz and it ran fine. Use ORTHOS to stress the CPU and see if it passes for at least 12 hours. If it doesn't then lower your overclock.

    After a few tweaks of the memory settings i now have it running stable at the max it will clock i think :D
    i ran ORTHOS for over 2 hours without any stability problems.
