There isn't a turbo button -- haven't had a case in a looong time with one of those :-) I'll see if there's a cable inside the machine that might want to hook up to connectors on the board though. > > Most obvious question is what is the status/size of the CPU cache?

I tried changing it to 150 and got the message "warning -- the CPU has been having [sic] overclocked!!!!" The cache settings are all in an enabled looking state (I have a choice between writetrhu and disabled). The ONLY thing I can see that could be an issue is that the system does, in fact, want PC100 memory, and all I've got are PC133s ... However, before I put the 133 in, it was using PC100 and still tanked ... wacky. thanks! marc.
