Here's the scoop: I'm running an Athlon 900 "classic" on an Abit K7-100 MB. I was able to crank it up to 967mhz (no GFD) and use win98 fine. Windows 2000 however would load about 80% (blue bar get over halfway across on splash screen) then do a memory dump. I tried different speeds and win2000 crashes even if I set the cpu to 101(33)x9=909mhz. Win2000 ONLY likes 100(33)x9=900. When it crashes it gives the error (most of the time) in a registry string, something like: HKey_LocalMachine/classes/SOFTWARE and that's it, no actually specific thing in that registry string.. Then it does a physical memory dump. A few times I would get an error with the ntkernel.
Win98 handles the overclock ok at any speed up to 972mhz.
Any ideas on what it's hiccup is with. Is it the memory, or something else. Memory is Micron pc100.
