I've been running a Soltek  SL75DRV5 since August with no problems so I
thought I would play with the BIOS settings today.  This board comes with
RedStorm so I thought I would let it run (my first experience with
overclocking).  It got to 149Hz and restarted the system but it wouldn't
restart, hanging after the RAM check.  I let the machine sit for about 10
minutes and then I could get into the BIOS via DEL.

On the Redstorm screen CPU Speed = 145, presumably that's what it reset it
to.  I lowered it back to 133 and everything seems to be fine.  BTW at 145
the opening screen showed the Athlon (2000+) as a 2200+.    If I understand
this correctly I'm changing the clock on the motherboard.  Does that make
everything run faster, CPU and memory?   Also looks as if my system can't be
pushed much harder than the design speed, is that typical?
