Seeing as how the overclocking topic I made wasn't going anywhere, I went ahead and tried it for myself. (I have an AMD Athlon XP 1700+ processor). I restarted my computer, hit delete, brought up the "Cell Menu" and changed the FSB from 100 MHz to 120 MHz. Now my computer will not even boot up. What happened?

well...hopefully you didn't cook anything....but to get it back up....reset your bios...either by following your motherboard manual's instructions on how to reset the CMOS....or take the CMOS battery out for a few minutes with the machine unplugged

Hey thanks... and I read my manual... apparently it comes with an automatic overclock. "Dynamic Overclocking".
