    What the best and safest setting in the bios to use for OCing the stock 1.6mhz to 1.8mhz or even 2.0mhz if possible without causing a lockup or freezing the system. I was trying to get a little extra performance off of this cpu without having to upgrade just yet. any reco :) mmendations for settings in the bios.?? :)

    Don't forget that the stock power adapter isn't sufficient for overclocking because the max voltage is already obtained without overclocking. At least, that's if I remember correctly(only thing stopping me from overclocking currently)

    Btw nirvana0001, if that's your drawing in your avatar, that's a very nice drawing. This thread is now un-hijacked.
