    OK, I saw something on here about being able to overclock the CPU with some utility. I DL'd that utility and am not sure what to adjust the settings to. I found the ATiTool utility very useful, and now want to OC the CPU. What should I adjust the settings to. BTW, I have the M6805 with the 64 3000+. I hear I can up it from 1800 to 2000 and still be stable. Thanks for the help.

    Hi there Jee...

    You can use a program called ClockGen to change you HTT.
    The benefits of overclocking are clearly evident when you look at my other post [ ;)]:

    thanks for the reply. there have been ALOT of reads but not replies...until you that is. Right, so I have that program. Do I just slide the scroll bar to thr right until the speed says 2000? what do I do from there as I tried this once but windows still showed it as 1800, or will windows notice the change? Thanks.

    Once you set the slider to the desired CPU frequency, press "Set Values" to accept the change. After, you can press "Get Values" to verify that you have indeed o/c'ed the CPU.

    Micro$oft has made it very clear that Windows XP can not accurately (or precisely for that matter) read AMD64 speed. Try CPUID (also available at the CLOCKGEN webpage)instead.
