Vista VS XP overclocking

Perhaps you might get a more productive answer if you posted what you wish
to do, rather than ask a somewhat abstract question.

If you want a USABLE overclock, then pick the fastest overclock setting that
allows stable operation for YOUR applications and operating system.

If you want bragging rights, then boot up with DOS and an assembler language
idle loop.

If you want fast speed for games or image processing, where occasional
errors are unnoticeable, then you can get by with a higher speed overclock
for those applications than for applications that require accuracy at the
expense of overclock level.

There are no guarantees in overclocking, so choose overclock levels
appropriate for YOUR needs.

To answer you latest question; sure, you can have a dual boot system
overclocked to FSB 265 for Windows XP and Vista overclocked to 255 FSB. So
what? That's why it's an abstract question - there's no context.

| The operating system has nothing to do with the FrontSide Bus speed.
| Nothing at all. In any way.
