Hi all

I am using a QDI explorer 4 (triton VX) motherboard with 9 June 97 bios.  I ran 
the M2 chip at 2.9v and 66MHZ x 2.0 as written on the chip.  The boot screen 
says Cyrix M2 133MHZ.  What setting should I be using : 83MHZ x 2.0?? (yes the 
board goes upto 83 MHZ-claimed but not checked!).  Can this chip be 
overclocked safely on this board?  Thanks in advance.

S Ghosal
