Well installed VISTA 64 ultimate OEM.

Forget it being friendly to overclocking.

My stable setting sunder XP wont even install Vista and once installed I can get no where near to the old settings.

My memory wont even go to 4 4 4 12 at 800 which is what it is ratet at without trashing the vista install and havin to reinstall everything.

Forget taking the memory about 820 mhz when before it was rock solid at 900+ and as for the FSB I it used to give me 1200 where as anything above 1100 now is a risk.

Everytime you oc too much it trashes windows and you have to repair (if you are lucky) and rebuild i fyou are not!

And my bloody motherboard has a bug that wont let me select usb keyboard for bios so I need to change keyboard everytime.

Why oh why did I ***** so much on my motherboard when vista so unfriendly to fsb overclock and the bloody motherboard has no upward multiplier!

On Vista 64 here.

No different to XP in respect to clocking. If you XP o/c did not install Vista then it was not really stable in the first place.

I have recently got a new 3800+ and have been clocking that no problems. I have pushed it so that it is unstable in Prime 95 (SP2004) and no side effects for windows.

So not sure whats going on with your machine dude but might not be the o/s.
 
OEM version so was completely fresh install - but the more I play with it the more I have been thinking that the IN9 32 max BIOS no likey VISTA or vice versa

I did a full memory test using the VISTA tools during boot up and didnt detect any probs with that....

Role on BIOS upgrade.

As one way or another it was rock solid in XP but no like VISTA at all.
