Need advice, first time overclocking: 3.2GHz barton

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.overclocking.amd (More info?)

I put together an AMD Barton 3200MHz 400MHz frontside bus, on a K7 Triton
GA-7VT600(-L) mainboard. cpuz.exe says its running at:

2210 MHz

Stepping: 0
Multiplier: 11
Voltage: 1.68V
FSB: 200MHz
Bus speed: 400MHz

Not sure if this means anything:
L1 data: 64kb
L1 code: 64kb
Level 2: 512kb
Bios: Award

Any help would be appreciated... I want it to be a little faster, and I
don't want to make it overheat.

yes I just figured that out. Now, why would they put a "3200" in the name
knowing darn well it runs at 2200? They should call it a "Barton 2200".
Isn't this deceptive marketing?

I agree with you, but, I want to point out that most of us will never
know what applications actually run best on either the Intel, or the AMD
product, unless WE buy both, and do the tests ourselves!

I do know that I much prefer AMD, and that I run Linux because it
actually executes it's small kernel about 6X for every instance of XP
Pro, and, on ALL of my dual boot AMD and Intel systems! Linux is VERY
much faster, though I (and 40% of all users of Linux) run Debian,
installed in about 20 minutes, from the Knoppix LiveCD.
