While there are some, the general consensus seems to be that FreeBSD pushes the hardware more than Windows, meaning that the overclocking levels that work are much lower - typically around 5%, as opposed to the nearly 20% you got. Since turning off overclocking and trying again is the suggested response to any problems on an overclocked system, I don't bother. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
