Thanks a lot people! This was one of my most interesting tests. I have removed the big copper cooler heatsink on top of this ADW CPU, and moped up the Artic Silver 5 compound on it, to reveal a production date inscription of: A 9630DPE. Is this a good/"magic" date? BTW, I'm sure the heatsink cooler and paste helped a little bit, to maintain stability.
Very unfortunately, right ATM, I don't have a Voodoo2 card to hand. Sorry.
Hehe, regarding the compact flash aparatus. I'm not absolutely certain if this makes a difference. I have done various tests however. Sometimes I use a CF device attached to the mobo's IDE pins. Sometimes I use an IDE cable with the CF attached to the end of it. I have found that the CF+cable is less reliable than a CF attached to the mobo's IDE pins, when doing huge overclocks. Perhaps it is because the data has to travel along a cable, back and forth, and when you do overclocks, things can go wrong?
