-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Spike, Check out Tom's Hardware Guide at: http://www.sysdoc.pair.com/ You'll find most the info you need about overclocking your CPU. I'm currently overclocking my P5-233MMX to 266 MHz on an Asus P/I P55T2P4 motherboard by setting the bus speed to 75 MHz instead of 66 MHz that Intel recommends. This motherboard has an undocumented (well, at least by the manufacturer) bus speed of 83 MHz. The major draw back to overclocking is heat and the accelerated bus speed causes some PCI cards to not work. I was able to bring my system up at 83 MHz, but my SCSI controller (an old 2940) would work correctly. The above link gives you a ton of info. Hope this helps. - - burton - On Sun, 23 Nov 1997, sporkl wrote: > Hello. > > I have heard mention pf "upclocking" a chip to a higher speed.
