They could be referring to a PIII Coppermine, you know... Ah. It's listed under the heading of Intel Pentium II - Is this different from what I have? I have to admit to have been very trusting of the set-up, naively as it had been set up by the local computer shop. Perhaps they did know what they were doing after all and decided to leave it set to defaults and give it away rather than bothering trying to resell it :-] I'm confused. > > at 3x clock ratio I get: > > CPU (I assume this is FSB) 100 > > PCI 33 > > AGP 66 > > The display cache runs at 100MHz too, a 1:1 ratio seems logical. > > 1:1 CPU<->AGP ratio? That's not going to work well at 100MHZ FSB. It's what the manual recommends and it seems happy enough so far. Some of the screensavers are making me a bit giddy though ;-) The maximum temperature I've achieved is 45 degC running xscreensaver for several hours with the case on, which won't even keep my coffee warm. I'm running it with the lid off just in case anyway, until I get round to putting a fan on the ?north bridge? as my housemate suggests - I assume that's the bit that gets vaguely warm. Memtest86 is perfectly happy too. I'm not sure when I'll get time to properly stress test it, so I might just put the jumpers back the way they were for now, fiddly inaccessible things though they are in this tiny micro ATX case. > > I think I might read it now.

Yup, I figured. Thanks again for your suggestions. tim hall
