OC'ing AMD 1800+ and Biostar M7VIZ-A07 MB
I'm building a dedicated folding machine using an AMD 1800+ and a Biostar M7VIZ motherboard (the $99 combo from NewEgg). As this is my first OC for a specific purpose, I'm hoping you have some suggestions.
1. Mod the processor? If so what to and is there a recommendation for a web site describing how. 2. Update FSB / etc in bios and stick with unmodded processor. Here is the information off the black label on the processor: AMD Athlon AXDA1800LT3C 9814376281242 JIUHB 0329WPMW What strategy would you use? Looking for nice speed bump, but great reliability running 24/7. Thanks

Looking at the manual on Biostar's site, looks like the only OC option is to raise the FSB to 166 (for 1.9G). Close JCLK1 pins 5-6, rest should be open. There's also the Warpspeeder software to OC some more, but I don't see any way of adjusting the muliplier.

if i'm not mistaken, the max oc ur cpu can do is 2.8 ghz which is really high for an 1800+, my 1700+ can do 2.6 ghz if the stepping is really right
