usually the higher you go the higher voltage you need but with my Duron 700 I can get 900 Mhz at default voltage.
to get 950 Mhz stable I had to go to 1.75 Volts
system is stable as all get out at 1.75 voltage. go to This groovy site for info on voltages etc
as we are trying to tell you softmenu 3 will only be of any real use you you if you pencil in your duron. the only settings that will be available to you if you dont mod your chip will be fsb and voltage. altogether not a stable way to go. Go with a multiplier adjustment
VIA based Athlon chipsets are notoriously bad FSB overclocks.
Suck it up and grab a pencil it's really simple.
Trust me on this one I can hardly draw a straight line on a piece of paper but the pencil job was a snap..
THe mom and Pop PC shop I used to work for got a shipment of these SL2W8 processors. I think we got in like 20. All 10 of us employees bought one I sold the next ten in one sale. This was a week or so after the news of the 2 volt core was out on the net.
I still say that technically running...
sounds like my chances are pretty good then.
Stock voltage and Prime 95 Ran overnight without a glitch.
Gonna do some fiddling with 9.5 Mult tomorrow.
Thanks for the info
If you get a Mother Board that supports voltage settings (like the Asus A7V) all that is required is connecting the L1 Bridges.
The Bios (on the Asus at least) handles the voltage tweaking

The one I had was an SL2W8. That was a 300 that still runs at 450 to this day.
AFAIK the way to tell is run the numbers thru intel's website
or use Sandra..

I got the duron 700 and pencil thing working. Seems best I can do is 900 Mhz stable (W/O upping the FSB. When I up FSB I can get it to 109 before it gets flakey. I have not tweaked the voltage yet. 10X100 will not even post. 9.5 X 100 will not post completely. I am pleased with 900 Mhz but I...
