It also allows (*totally unsupported*) you to set the external clock to 75
or 83 Mhz.  A (2x83) actually gets a higher Winstone97 (as if that were a
decent benchmark) than a (3x66).  I just put my order in for one
today.  I would have rather found an AOpen AP5T, which is a TX
chipset that does the same thing AND supports SDRAM, but oh, well,
I needed the MB by this weekend.  Anyway, with this drift, it's time to
move to chat, or something more appropriate.
