If you have enough airflow in your machine, an overclock on a 333 up to 50% won't conceivably do any damage. But considering the state of computers nowadays, anything can happen. I personally had a PII 366 die after 3 hours of running... just for the hell of it, so if you can overclock your machine and use some braincells when you do it... more power to you Swen ~ -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- GCS/O d-(+) s:+>:- a- C++++ UB++$>++++$ P+ L++>++++$ E-- W++(++) N+ o?
