AFAIK only Celerons +700 mhz support a 100mz fsb. Intel has a utility to check cpu information bus speed and so on .. sadly it's windows/dos only: http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/Product_Filter.asp?ProductID=441 >Well, I'm running at 100MHz x 6 right now. >I take full responsibility for my actions. >Are there any signs I should watch out for? > > freezes, crashes(segfaults usually), screen artifacts, corruption all that interesting stuff. :) another neat utility for stress testing is cpuburn you can get it here: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/hardware/ or as a simple benchmark glxgears in software mode. > >I think it's probably more a question of me explaining badly.

Perhaps the 1800 bogomips reading is, I don't know. > now that is uh ... interesting ... so within two days you like almost quadrupled your processor speed .. congratulations :D could you post the output of "cat /proc/cpuinfo"? I'd love to see that. :) just FYI: "model name :" should tell you the name and aometimes the design speed of the cpu "cpu MHz" the real current speed "bogomips" issome weird timing value I have no idea what it means exactly
