Is there >an easy way to determine whether the board will support the new speed? You'll likely have to replace most of the parts on the motherboard. They were chosen for the max clock speed it *currently* has. At a higher clock rate many of them will have the wrong value. You want a higher clock rate? Buy a new motherboard. Sorry, but that's the way it is. -- Leonard Erickson leonard@qiclab.scn.rain.com CIS: [70465,203] 70465.203@compuserve.com FIDO: 1:105/56 Leonard.Erickson@f56.n105.z1.fidonet.org (The CIS address is checked daily.
