and then you get to fool with voltages, and then with...
The AMD 2400+ should have been set to "factory specs" of Multiplier of 15, FSB 133 and voltage 1.65 in the first place though. With the 100 Mhz you were underclocking yours.

Play around with it (if you fry it they are pretty cheap).
Stability and longevity of components is a good reason to not OC but realistically you are likely not going to keep the same system long enough to allow that to make much difference.
Had a Pentium Pro 200 that I ran at 266 for three years without problem and a Pentium Pro 166 that I clocked to 233 that gave up the ghost after about 4 months.
My new system I built has a Shuttle AN35N Ultra 400 system board with an AMD 2400+ processor, 2 Gig speed. After getting it running I noticed in Device Manager the processor was shown as AMD 1800+ with a 1.4 Gig processor. After a phone call to the store where I bought it I changed the FSB from 100 MHz to 133 MHz, and the listing went to 2400+, speed 2.0 Gig. Now it's showing correctly, running like a top.
Can overclocking be this simple? Change the FSB speed? Not that I want to experiment, but if the FSB speed is increased, will the processor speed increase? I do have more options.
Thanks.
