Hello all... Not sure if this is the place to pose this question, but here goes anyways...
I have an IWILL KA266 board with a 1.1 Ghz Athlon. I'm kinda new to the overclocking world, so I'm just taking baby steps at the moment. I haven't wandered into the multiplier unlocking world yet and am concentrating my overclocking efforts on boosting the FSB.
I've successfully got my board running at 110 Mhz FSB at the moment, but I think it could go faster. I tried to run it at 120 Mhz FSB and it will load Win2k without a hitch, but it locks up if I try to run programs. That leads me to believe the board is unstable at that speed. I know, call me a rocket scientist. :)
I guess I should ask you my main question though... The IWILL board unfortunately doesn't allow me to try any FSB settings in between 110 and 120. Does anyone know if they plan on updating the bios so I can have finer tuning abilities of the FSB? Or do I have to bust out a pencil and unlock my CPU and tweak the multiplier and FSB to get some more horsepower out of my system?
