We did a 50% overclock on a Sempron 64 2800+ right off the bat.
Changing the ht in the overclocking screen and in the advanced chipset
screen for the
NB <-< SB and NB >-> SB did the trick.
These are the settings:
Clock 300 sets cpu (8x multiplier) at 2400
cpu 1.5v (may do ok with less -- subject of later tests)
ht 3x in all 3 places for a 900 result
memory is ddr500 so it can run at 250. Set it for 166 and it's at 240.
Before overclocking I set the memory to 250 so the slower timings would be
auto-set. I rebooted, looked at the timings, they seemed fine, and I set
them to manual in both places in the list to lock them there so that when I
set the memory to 166 the motherboard wouldn't go to tight timings, which
may not have worked at the actual 240 speed.
It worked right away and survived prime95 overnight.

It's my friend's board. He used to get 6 or 8 fps in World of Warcraft with
an Athlon xp 1700 and geforce 2 mx 200. With the unoverclocked new system
using the onboard video he got 14. Overclocking raised it to 20, and
sometimes it hits 30. He may yet get a video card, and maybe even a sound
card.
The Sempron 64 2800+ overclocked doesn't go above 40C overclocked like that
with the stock heatsink that came with it. Maybe in the summer with a video
card in there it would heat up more.
