I was testing different system configurations on my Gigaby GA-6BXC motherboard comparing CPUs when I accidentally ran my Pentium II 333 MHz (SL2TV) at 560MHz (112MHz x5.0)!
The CPU was not overvolted and ran all benchmarks in DOS and Windows 98 for hours without a single glitch.
Quake, DOOM, 3DMark99, 3DMark2000, Sandra, Quake 2 and Quake 3.
That's a 68% overclock, and the CPU never even got hot. I didn't notice the massive overclock until I started to compare the results to a 500MHz PIII Katmai which it inexplicably (but now understandably) destroyed.
Is the Pentium II typically that friendly to overclocking?
