OC curiosity

[RancidWAnnaRIot]

I don't really plan to overclock my bad boy hardcore, but i just wanted to bump up my CPU clock in the bios. When i did, at boot up it said "CPU is not workable" something to that effect. So i put it back to stock speed and it works fine... how come that happened? i thought OCing from the bios was supposed to be that easy? The CPU is a Athlon XP 2000+.

Thanks

Your not really giving us enough info to explain what happened, or what you changed, or the specs of the system. You can't change the multiplier, just the bus speed, without more modification. You also can't just select another processor from the list. You have to go to User Defined and set the values.
