oooh.. (dreaming of faster cgi server for DAT explorer)

It's a pretty sweet box so far.  Only problem I've had with it is
Windows 2000 RC2 refuses to install/run if I have the Celerons
overclocked at all.  Played with all the normal things, voltage,
etc, to no avail.  The Celerons do 550 at 2.0v just fine in NT4 and
98, but W2k doesn't like em that way.  Oh well, I wanted this for a
server anyway, not a gaming machine.


Now that sounds like an intentional "feature".  I remember a few (ok, many)
years ago I was experimenting with overclocking 486 DX/2-66's.  I got an early
version that ran solid up to about 84MHz and gradually became unstable above
85MHZ until it wouldn't boot at 90MHz.  My friend bought one a few months
later and the thing ran solid up to 79.99999MHz and then stopped dead ( I used
a textronix variable clock generator). So we ran it at 75MHz since I had picked
up a bunch of 75MHz oscillators at a Hamfest.  I had already made a divide by
two adaptor so I could use just about any oscillator I could find.

(...) Well, after many hours of testing, I've decided to run these at 522 max (95x5.5). NT just doesn't seem to run too happily for some reason on this system at 550. I could probably try to tweak it out some more, but for what I'm going to be using (...) (25 years ago, 17-Oct-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
