Better yet, use soft-updates, which will make your file systems fast _and_ safe. And if you have IDE disks, be sure to enable DMA. Without DMA, IDE drives are terribly slow. See LINT for details and instructiosn how to enable soft-updates and DMA. And don't overclock. It wouldn't solve your problem, but might introduce a whole lot of new problems. BTW, I've got a dual Celeron-466 (Gigabyte 6BXD mainboard), and it's running great. Well, as great as a dual Celeron could possibly run, given its small cache sizes which are not really meant for SMP operation.
