I am told the PPro-166/512k has a poor overclocking record. So I didn't overclock mine for a long time. Its been running at 200 MHz since last November: CPU: Pentium Pro (199.31-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x617 Stepping=7 Features=0xf9ff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV> Might not hurt that I have a stout 300W PS, several fans, and the biggest heatsink/fan I could find. Ran it at 233MHz for a half hour before I decided if it could do that, 200 MHz should be safe. It failed to boot at 266. Hey! You never know. ;-) MB is an Asus P6NP5, the AT form factor. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
