Thanks for the reply guys. I have a couple more questions. What exactly is "cool enough"? And I was overclocking my Athlon 1 Ghz the other day stepping up the multiplier ratio. I set it low to start, 10.5, and it ran successfully but when I stepped the ratio up to 11 it dropped down to 900 Mhz instead of the 1100 Mhz I was expecting. I noticed by going higher it seemed to continue up normally, at 11.5 it went to 950 Mhz, at 12 it went back to 1000 Mhz, etc...Any ideas? I'm rather new to "extreme" computing and would like to know what I'm doing wrong, if anything.
