Subject: overclockers! opinons sought.

i have noticed on all 3 of my overclocked computers that certain chess engines
don't run well, in particular junior 8/ hiarcs8 & shredder 7/704.

on a single overclocked comp if any of the above engines are running; the
computer will either reboot/ freeze/ crash or give an error meesage, after
playing only for a few hrs.this happens each time i have tried to play eng vs
eng matches using any of the above engines.

these comps have been stable for all other programmes, inculding chess
programmes; i have been able to play the following engines-the king engines
(both 3.12d and 3.23); fritz8/7 df7/ the tigers for weeks on end in eng vs eng
matches without the above problem;

initially i thought that the problem was with the software but after setting the
hardware to default settings; junior8 vs f8 are running smoothly for well over a
week.

i am particularly interested with AMD overclocked systems as i plan to buy an
overclocked modified dual (XP modified to MP guaranteed to run at 2400 mhz)
