Sorry, I would like the cpu and the front side bus and ram to run a little faster. I got away from the biggest chip I've owned was a PIII 1 gig. I was under the impression that these ahth cpu's could be o'clocked as well as the above mentioned hardware. I went into the bios and set the memory one setting higher and core voltage up one setting etc. The pc would not boot, post etc. I finally had to pull the battery on the MB. I must not be doing something right. I hope this clears up my post. again, thanks Jack
