Well, it's a PII (P6) architecture, but that's about the only similarity to your chip. The package is different, the core voltage is different, your chip has SSE instructions, less cache but running at full core clockspeed, etc. > 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.

I worked at a place where they sold overclocked machines regularly. They saw nothing wrong with it as long as the machine seemed stable and they didn't falsely advertise the speed of the CPU. I disagreed with this approach, but I have to admit I saw fewer problems than I would have thought otherwise. > > 1:1 CPU<->AGP ratio?
