This is a fairly disingenuous statement. If the OS is dying on an overclocked processor, it's because the processor is failing under the CPU load. You'll have the same problem with FreeBSD or any other OS if you push it in the right way. > I have yet to hear of a report of an overclocked x86 system not working > with FreeBSD (if you don't overheat your system that is). Seriously, it > should work. This is untrue. If you overclock your CPU beyond the point where it works reliably, well, your OS will exhibit the signs of that failure. End of story.
