Where's the quality control!?!?!! I know that you're just joking around, but did you try any of the clock calibration kernel options? I have a P150 overdrive chip that I (bus) overclock to 166 and the option to calibrate the cpu clock differently made a huge difference for me. Take a look in LINT, the specific options I use are: cpu "I586_CPU" options "CPU_FASTER_5X86_FPU" options "CLK_USE_I586_CALIBRATION" options "NO_F00F_HACK" Hope this helps you, Doug -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** *** Proud designer and maintainer of the world's largest Internet *** Relay Chat server with 5,328 simultaneous connections. *** Try spider.dal.net on ports 6662-4 (Powered by FreeBSD) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
