OVERCLOCKING ASUS P5A W/ AMD K6-2 300

[loy...@singa.pore.net]

After reading the overclocking results of the AMD K6-2 300 CPU with ASUS P5A
mainboard here and elsewhere, I decided to try it out. But no matter how I
tried, for any bus speed above 100Mhz (from 3x105 to 3x120 Mhz), I could never
get a stable system. The results ranged from system hanging mid way while
booting up (OFTEST JUMPER OPEN) to Desktop Explorer costantly crashing and/or
Win98 reporting Registry error messages, after 'successful' bootup (OFTEST
JUMPER CLOSE). Also, PC Probe, a mainboard utility program from ASUS (and a
great one too) faithfully gave a warning that the VIO +3.3V had reached a
dangerous level of +4.0V, way too high!

So, what could be wrong?? To provide further info, my settings are as follows:

OS : Win98
Motherboard : ASUS P5A
BIOS Rev : 1.03 Beta 5
RAM : 64Mb PC-100 (LG Brand)
Video Card : ASUS V264GT3 (ATI Rage Pro chipset)
Harddisk : Quantum 2.1ST

One bonus though, I am ABLE to overclock my present 300Mhz to 350 using 3.5 x
100.

Did I miss something somewhere? If sites producing overclocking results
reviews can overclock their P5A with AMD K6-2 300 successfully, why can't I?
Can some overclocking expert please help??

Overclocking the bus speed over 100, the V I/O goes from 3.3 v to 3.8 v with
the OFTEST jumper on. So remove the OFTEST jumpers and the V I/O drops down
to normal range. @ http://www.sdsmark.com/p5aoftest.htm

Good luck.
