Palomino 2000xp

Comment:
Is it worth it to try and overclock a 2000 palomino? I finally looked up the specs on the chip, and it gave me pause to think. I'm worried that the chip doesn't have enough room to improve.
I'm now running my 1800+ at 1.68ghz (12 x 140 @ 1.65v) using WinME...but I can't run WinXP with any stability unless I lower the FSB to 100mhz. Bad RAM? I've tried several sticks in different configs & individually...they can't ALL be bad?
Reflashed BIOS...now running at 1.75ghz (12.5 x 140) & all is well...EXCEPT...my CPU is recognized as XP 2000+ on the boot screen...but as a Duron in WinME!
Here's what SANDRA says:
Duron 1.75ghz model 2117 (est) PR2559 generation 7th revision/stepping 8/1(0)
What is going on here??
I'm running the burn-in wizard right now to see if it overheats or lockups up...it started at 39C....

jam - I'd try not to worry about the fact that Sandra it calling you a duron. As long as cpuid or cpu-z says your L2 cache is 256kb you are a tbred.
Since this issue is all oc related I think its voltage. Use mbm5 to monitor all your voltages using winme and winxp. Maybe you'll see a problem.

I have got a XP 2000+ (Palomino core) and without increasing the core voltage I have got it running absolutely stable at 1790mhz (12.5 x 143), roughly the equivelent of an XP 2200+. This is with "average" cooling.
