I can now say im a disappointed AMD user

I have an X2 5200+ (2.6Ghz) overclocked to 3.20Ghz @ VCore 1.5V @ FSB=240 with a CoolerMaster HyperTX2 Heatsink.

Now running Prime95 crashed it, i decreased it to:
3.18Ghz, 3.16Ghz, 3.14Ghz, 3.1Ghz (ALL crashed at the abbove settings with Prime 95)

Now i decrease VCore to 1.475V with FSB to 233 (down to like 3.08Ghz) and JUST RUNNING A GAME WITHOUT PRIME95 YET TESTED crashed the system. wtf???

How crap are these CPUs? i thought Brisbanes/AMD clock well!
I even have 4GB of DDR-800 Kingston running

Is it because i never set the RAM timings or touched anything else besides the FSB & VCore?

I have the Multiplier= (x13)

I think its the later revisions of the Black Edition Processors that overclock well. I got a 5000 Black Ed. and took the CPU multiplier to 15 (from 13.5 default) poof 3.0ghz no sweat. 45C CPU temps with 4 instances of Orthos running....Zalman 9500
