all that means is that your motherboard supports up to a 1.5ghz processor.
and now some questions to ask yourself before you start to overclock are you read yo risk burning up this processor, and can your afford to replace it or is it underwarrenty and can you go without a computer till you get the replacement. how good is your heatsink and fan, can it handle the added heat from the overclocked processor? remember I have 2 yes 2 AMD athlon XP Tbred cores being shipped to AMD for replacement from overclocking.

Thanks Joe. I know I'd have to update the cooling, but by the sounds of it, the AMD isn't too great for overclocking (or did you really really push it?) And you know I can't go without a computer.
