    MSI K7T Turbo problem - any news of refund/replacement?

    The problem I've heard is this: certain VIA northbridges (those with code beginning with 1EA0 or 1EA4) do not run stably at 133FSB. This is despite having PC133 ram, doing the MSI dance, closing the L1, and L7 bridges, etc.

    Overclocking a notebook

    I'm thinking of OCing a Toshiba 2595cdt notebook. It's got a Celeron 400Mhz. So I think increasing the FSB should do it, but I'm not sure the mobo allows any tweaking. Any chance of success? Has anyone tried OCing a notebook? What's your experience like? Thanks for any advice.

    **Temp Dead** SMC Barricade @ Outpost @ $112.95 Rebate may be renewed

    I bought this 2 weeks ago for $95 (MIR). The rebate is from SMC, and ended on 2/19/01. It's a neat little gadget. Easy to use and stable. I was up and running in 5 mins. For $113, the price isn't bad either. Rival products from Dlink or Linksys cost more.
