From the Fire into the frying pan. Burn P4 burn

My P4 chip and motherboard got fried. I knew this was inevitable with the unstable voltage at home, but I was hoping this didn't happen this soon. I'm one month away from my FYP deadline and this happens.....argghhh. "Don't you wolly pal" Sampath said and we headed off to Unity and bought an AMD 2.4GHz. It was working well but still having minor probs for about a week and I realized it had to be overclocked to achive max performance. I overclocked it and alas!! the my new chip got fried too. Since I had my warrenty I managed to get the chip replaced. After fixing up everything I had to format the HD but when I tried to install the OS I realized my CD RW drive isn't working well...dang!!! this sux.

in AMDs you have to do it....by default the FSB is 100 and has to be changed to 133. if not a 2.4GHz chip will give only the results of a 1.8GHz
