Overclocking hazards

[durran]

I overclocked my Athlon 2100+ to a 2700+ and it runs stable enough, but my DDR 266 ram (Rated at -6A), won't run at 333. How can I check the max potential of my ram? When I ran 3D mark at with 333, my system rebooted, and Windows had to fix three files. I get errors on booting up now, so I guess I'll have to reinstall windows. Should I mess around with the Ram some more, or just get some DDR 333 ram? Thanks, oh yeah. I only get around 7900 3D marks.

2100+ @ 2.16
Geforce 3 Ti 200
512 DDR 266 Ram

Is it the ram that's killing me? Thanks. (Oh, and how can tell if dual channel is enabled?)

What brand are you using... there is no way to tell. you need to up the fsb slowly, and add voltage if you are unstable once you can't do that anymore, that's your limit.
You may want to stay below that limit unless you are running some quality ram...



To err is human... to really screw things up you need a computer!
