> Unless you like wasting your time troubleshooting and annoying your > distributors, overclocking is a very very bad idea. Which brings up a related point: If you have a "bug" in FreeBSD where the system is randomly hanging/crashing/misbehaving and you're overclocking, DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO REPORT IT unless you can reproduce the error with overclocking turned OFF. That may seem harsh, but you wouldn't believe the sheer number of FreeBSD developer hours completely WASTED by people who shot themselves in the feet and then complained that FreeBSD was giving them a bad limp. The developers of FreeBSD have far, far more important things to do than chase red herrings and if you waste our time with a bogus failure report because of overclocking, you WILL be flamed by, at the very minimum, me! :) You'll also be hammering the first nail in your own coffin when in comes to FreeBSD tech support since we only deal with people crying wolf so many times before we simply whap "delete" on anything we might see from them.
