I was wondering guys, if you raised the Bus speed on a 700 MHZ duron on a A7V mobo to oc it, But the higher you raised the bus, the longer it took for windows 2000 to load... I assume what would cause that is the hard disk not wanting to keep up or something. But the werid thing is, once i get into windows, everything runs great and a lot faster. I have a 1 128 mb PC100 module and one pc 133 module. I am running both of these with the 133 mhz speed plus the oc on the bus. I think i only raised the bus speed 10mhz before it became unstable in a game or something. I would like to unlock the muiltpler, but im not sure what to use to close the bridges... I would use that conductive pen, but they cost like 15 bucks from what i saw. I can get a duron 1.3 for like 32 bucks at price watch, so screw the pen. You have to close all the L1 bridges to unlock it correct?
System specs
Asus a7v
duron 700
256 mb ram, one 100 and the other pc133
Geforce 2 MX
8.4 ata 66 @ 7200rpms
generic sound card and modem...
(yes i know, this system is in serious need of upgrade, but i dont have a whole lot of money cause im building a V8 engine for my little truck... Damn auto parts cost a lot... )
Right now my duron is running at 749mhz with windows loading at a decent rate...
i had it once at 791, but it crashed in a game too much, and it took win2k forever to load(part where bar moves across the screen in blue...)
Thanks -Drew
