Will your ISA cards still function, will your PCI cards work properly? Will the memory timings now be too fast ? etc. etc. In short, is it really worth the risk when you could probably just buy a P233MMX for whatever money you could make in the time it takes to mess with the jumpers and then recover all your data when your hard disk blows up and the processor melts. > Just a thought :) Same here, seems a lot of people overclock without the 'thought' that it could cause problems. steve Steve Roome - Vision Interactive Ltd.
