One Hot Athlon Overclocking Card From Outside Loop Computers We'll let the pictures say it all... We dialed the Athlon straight up to 800MHz. with the Afterburner from Outside Loop. This particular CPU we had, held stable throughout our tests for hours on end at this frequency. Will you be able to hit this mark? I don't know but the Afterburner will let you find out and some sort of overclock achievement is almost guaranteed with Athlons. There just hasn't been a clean and easy way to achieve it, until now. Update 12/22/99: We used an Athlon 500 with a modification done to it to give it 1/3 cache division. This is something that sometimes...
