Im writting this post with a help of Mentas, because you known what my english is like
Yesterday I bought a K7upgrade and ocerclocked a bit my palomino.I have a little problem here. I made 11.5x153@1759mhz and I was testing for the stability of the system. Then I run Super PI and I've got this error: not convergent in sqr05 what the hell does it mean? And when I lowed fsb 146 I got another error: not exact in round Do you happend to know or does it mean instability or what?

Those are 2 errors that SuperPI issues when the system is not stable....
Palomino CPU's do not overclock well... I was never able to get one stable by increasing the FSB past 138Mhz or the Multiplier by 1 full setting on K7S5A boards.......
You need a better CPU .... Try to get a Barton XP2500...

Hi Dzia, As Polygon said Palominos won't clock well.But don't worry.There are good news too.All Palominos can be unlocked by joining all the L1 bridges(ask google).So why don't you try to lower the multy to 8.5 and bump the fsb to 200 and you'll get some memory performance boost. A year ago I had 1900+ Palomino.I was never able to get it stable past 1730Mhz.But after unlocking it worked nice and smooth with 200FSB. You'll need a good cooling though.As you already know the Palominos are veeery hot.
