I did not think I was overclocking it. From dmesg:

CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+ stepping 00
Enabling fast FPU save and restore... done.
Enabling unmasked SIMD FPU exception support... done.
Checking 'hlt' instruction... OK.
POSIX conformance testing by UNIFIX
enabled ExtINT on CPU#0
ESR value before enabling vector: 00000000
ESR value after enabling vector: 00000000
Using local APIC timer interrupts.
calibrating APIC timer ...
..... CPU clock speed is 1913.1807 MHz.
..... host bus clock speed is 332.7270 MHz.

processor. This seems to match the information I found. Any attempt I've 
made so far to alter values results in even worse behavior.
