o.c a athlon xp 2600

i can get it to 190 fsb and 145 dram frequency and seams ok but wht programs can i use to check tht its stable and wont blow my mobo up =p

wouldnt mind knowing either, as i want to overclock my 2100+. Somethings seem ok on the outside but u just dont know what its doing on the in :eek:

Prime95 - run the torture test for a few hours.
There are several memory test programmes available - e.g. memtest86

Merlin4458 there are numerous hardware monitoring proggies if that's what you want - MBM5, Speedfan etc.

might be a silly question but can any1 tell me how2 make the image file on metest86 so tht i can copy it ointo a disk cause the readme sucks

Seems clear to me
"Windows Installation

For windows installation begin by downloading either the Pre-Compiled Windows package to build a boot-able floppy disk or an ISO (zip version) to create a boot-able CDROM. After the file is downloaded an extract must be done to uncompress the file(s). To extract right click on the downloaded file and select the "Extract All" option. The extract option will let you choose where the files will be extracted to. To build a bootable floppy go the the folder where the files were extracted and click on the Install icon. The floppy disk will appear to be unformatted by Windows after the install is complete."
