I have a Micron Millenia P-100, I'm not sure what the speed limit on that
board is... I know it can go at least to 120Mhz...
Anyone out there know if the Millenia (from 1 yr ago) can be jumpered to
166Mhz? I'd love to pop in a 166 in there (and considering the bus speed
is the same 66Mhz for both the 100 and 166, that's great!)
