Well I spent money I shouldn't have and did a bios update
and here's the results so far.
First the bios update the I was running at 1,800@200 and now I'm at 2,400@266 (AMD XP)
Also I bought a Laptop a AMD 64 mobile running at 3000 clock says 1,800 instead of 2000.
I ran it for 27 minutes of prime 95 with no problems. It's a Emachine but I got the extended warranty from BestBuy.
Its wide screen also.
Tomorrow if all goes well I will be building a AMD 64 3000 if prime95 runs on it ok for testing memory and the video card I ordered works as it should I will this one up and running, depends how the prime95 test complets and the video card. Tomshardware had an article of motherboard and memory problems failing in prime95 tests.
My dumps will be a little uneven I am in the proces of switching DSL providers and Qwest is having a time reprovisioning the line from the system setup of msn and whatever.
Other news you might have seen me gone for awhile ... well ... for whatever reason after my X died and I got my girls and they were living with us the present wife blew a gasket and so were now 2,000 miles west of the east coast now. In Grantsville, Utah from Florence, SC
Me and the 2 daughters 15 and 17 are doing fine and enjoying life.
