Unfortunately that patch doesn't work for me. Still locks if I try APIC

The problem is, you cannot trust those infos esp not across board
manufacturers. In case of Abit nearly every bios shows different values...

I have an Athon XP running at 2.1Gz with 1.65vcore. Idle: 50°C (with CPU
Disc usually about 44-40°C) and under load about 54°C. I am usign a more
or less self-made watercooling.
