I just tryed to overclock my System, since a lot of people seemed to
have succes doing so. Some even said that they were running their
K6-200 at 266 MHz and their system was stable.
My system has so far been running at 66MHz x 3 and it was stable. Now I
tryed to set it to 66MHz x 3.5. The first time I started, the system
ran just until the boot menu appaered and froze. I rebooted, but I only
heard the memory count, the screen just stayed blank.
Now I tryed 75MHz x 3. The system booted just fine, but when I tryed to
compile the kernel, I got compiler errors and povray quit in the middle
of calculating a picture.
I have a pretty new board (Gigabyte 586S2) with a AMD K6-200 and one
module 64MB SDRAM 10ns of good quality (SIEMENS).
Since the CPU didn't get hot during those trials, I guess that it wasn't
the CPU that caused those problems.
Does anybody have some suggestions as to what went wrong?
I dont't really mind running the maschine at 200MHz, why not try and get
all the power? I would also like to know, what difference the higher
(75MHz) clock makes in running normal applications.
Thanks a lot
Ralph
