    I've seen a few people mention they have overclocked their FX1800m. Which software would you recommend? I've tried a evga percision but it locked up on the slightest clock increase. Also, what have you achieved?

    It's pretty rare to lock up with a small increase in clock speed but if your computer locked up (esp BSOD on load) when you increased your clock speed, then it most likely won't matter what software you use. Unfortunately, your chip might not have much headroom but confirm with another software anyways. There are many other programs that work too like Rivatuner.
