I just recently purchased a 2600+ athlon, and i want to overclock it.
My motherboard is a a7n8x deluxe (not revision 2).
I currently have one stick of 3200 ddr in. The only settings my mobo will allow me to boot up with for the cpu are 11.5 multiplier at 166mhz. I dont know whether its a barton or thourough bred core, all i know is i bought it last week from dabs and it has a 333mhz fsb (or something to that effect!)
I really would like to overclock, but whenever i try increasing the multiplier or the mhz the machine refuses to boot :(
