1200 - 1.70v - 45c - woohoo

12x105 - 1.75v - win protection error
12x105 - 1.8v - blue screen

12x105 - 1.85v - goin for broke! - 51c 1260 woohoo!!!

12x106 - 1.85v - 50c - all tests worked -hung on reboot - might be ok...WinME does that to me from time to time under normal circumstances...LOL

110x11 - 1.8v - 1220 - currently running at this, may see if it will do it with less voltage.

1260mhz, $49....not bad at all.

Boy I sure do love AMD

Sounds good. I can do about 1220 on my 1000 Duron.

Did you try 12.5 x 100 ?
Your AGP/PCI might not like the 105
how about 9.5 x 133......Ya' never know...

run a benchmark from 1ghz on up to see where the processor flattens out.

most durons flatten out somewhere, opposite the athlons, then you'll have to go with higher fsb to increase overall system performance.

I have never had any of my Durons running at 133 on this motherboard. I've got an ECS board I'm waiting on that I hope will run at the higher bus.

I'll probably end up running it at 1200 to keep it cool and stable. Hopefully with the mobo I'm waiting on, I'll be able to do that with a much higher FSB.

Yanked my V3 3000 PCI out before the testing cause I didn't think it would handle the higher PCI bus.

As an aside, this Volcano 5 is a great heatsink for $6.99 (www.outpost.com) For anyone on a tight budget, I wouldn't pay the extra money for the 6cu or 6cu+

Didn't try 12.5x100, my motherboard didn't have that option, just 12 x fsb, so you gotta crank up the fsb to get more than 1200.
