I recently bought an Athlon XP-M 3000+ off eBay. I managed to find the correct FSB/Multiplier ratio (266x16.5=2.2Ghz), but my system is unstable at that setting (i.e. my games crash after about 5-10 minutes of play). I have to back the speed down from 2.2Ghz to 1.8Ghz to get my system to run stabily. This is very disappointing, as I've heard about the overclocking potention of XP-M chips and I was anticipating pushing the chip beyond 2.5Ghz easily. Any insights as to why this is happening?
