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? www.sysdoc.pair.com Satoshi
