Rod, stop doing that to people.  Others make mistakes I admit I did,
"generalizations."  Most MB documentation don't come with higher clock speed
setting like when Socket 7 boards could do 83Mhz, they could go to the
website to get it.  Most manufacturers put it on their website and have a
notice of no liability because they don't want users that don't know what
they are doing to start rigging and have to call their Tech support.
Seriously wouldn't u be pretty pissed if u sold some1 something and they
misused it and ask for technical support?  I mean it would look bad if u
didn't offer then technical support and hang up but they misuse voids the
warantee...
