It all depends on how you overclock the CPU. I had good look running p2-333's as 400's just by changing FSB from 66 to 100. I also overclocked old 486/133 amd to 160 33x4 FSB to 40x4. You run into problems when you overclock your memory bus/pci bus/isa bus or get too crazy with the cpu settings without propper cooling.
Its not worth the time to overclock anything slower then 1ghz because the chips are so cheap, overclocking new chips means your creating one hell of a heat source so reliability goes to hell. |

We opened the case to find that chipset had exploded and melted everycard into it's slot and melted IDE cables that were attaching the HDD, Floppy and CD-ROM...
Basically we both made the decision it was overclocked with the chip not in properly...as I pulled out fragments which suggested it was in back to front!! |
"Overclocked with the chip not in properly..."? CPU was "back to front"? I'd say that the result would be the same at even half the clock speed. You've got a dead short of high amperage for a long time through the bus on that crispy-critter, man. I'm rather surprised the P/S fuse didn't blow in the first 5 seconds. Don't blame that bonehead move on overclocking the CPU. 
And remember, my original main point in this forum was NOT to O/C the CPU, but the ISA bus; a much much safer proceedure based on the fact that a large percentage of later 8088's went out the door at 10 mhz as standard for both CPU and ISA buses. Thus nearly 100% of all ISA cards made after 1985 were OK at that bus speed.  |
