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...
