I guess you wouldn't want to overclock. The chief reason I can think of for this is the expense of buying another chip when you burn it up. It does sound like fun to have the thing going much faster than it is designed to do, and you might even need it. I had often wondered how to overclock. I thought you had to put some kind of other clock chip on the MB so that it would drive the entire thing faster. Well, that's interesting. I finally found out that you do it just by adjusting a jumper. Thanks. -- Doug Smith: C.S.F.C. Computer Scientist For CHRIST
