Default Overclocking

Plus, Compaq docs show the max memory for the 5700N is 256 MB or 384MB
depending on configuration. This is totally unacceptable for XP. You would
be far better off going back to 98/98SE.

Forget about overclocking a 66mHz bus Celeron. Most Presarios do not have
any BIOS adjustment for processor clock or bus speed. As for the restarts,
since the 5700N is a fairly old CTO machine that shipped with Win98 or
98SE, there may well be some hardware incompatibilities involved with XP.
Did you run the compatibility wizard before upgrading to XP?

I have a Compaq Presario 5700N and am wondering about the possiblities
of overclocking this machine. Also it has windows XP installed and
will not restart without pulling out the plug or resetting the surge
protector. And ideas about this. Thanks DKline
