You should post questions like this to -hardware, Burton.

 * that?  I have a P133 on an ASUS P/I P55T2P4 MB w/ 80 meg RAM and 2
 * lethargic EIDE drives (both WD's 1.6 & 3.1).  I have currently set the MB
 * to the 2.0 & 66 MHz.  I tried setting the jumpers for 2.5 and leaving the
 * other at 66 MHz, but even BIOS wouldn't come up (I was staring at a blank
 * screen). 

Your CPU is probably getting too hot.  You may need a better fan.

However, I suggest you invest some money on SCSI drives before you
even try overclocking.  (Get the 8ms/7,200rpm variants too --
10ms/5,400rpm won't do much better.)  The bottleneck of your machine
during compilation should be the disks, not the CPU.

 * Does anybody know the correct jumper settings (for J8 - J11) to boost my
 * system up to 166 and 83 MHz?  Is it worth the risk of send my CPU & MB
 * into meltdown?
