It can be said as simple as this: "You Are Wrong". Running the chip at higher clock will lead to increased heat generation, which isn't a good thing for your silicon. Rule #1: Do not Overclock. Rule #2: If you overclock, do not complain that things don't work. -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
