I want to try to get to 150MHz, can these handle the 37.5MHz PCI speed?

Tekram 390F SCSI adapter
Diamond MonsterSound MX300
Linksys LNE100TX

If not what substitutions can I make?

Thanks

I don't know about the other two, but my MX300 could handle 44Mhz just fine :)

Hmm, I also recall reading on the storagereview forums that SCSI is not too happy overclocked.

I would be worried about the HD itself. Don't know much about SCSI HD's but IDE HD sometimes crap out at 37+ mhz, although some people have run them flawlessly at 42+mhz. I guess each HD or batch of HD's are unique.

The NIC and sound card should be okay, most IDE hard drives are able to handle 37.5MHz PCI bus, only thing I see to worry about is possibly the SCSI card, SCSI generally doesnt take too well to overclocking so you might want to watch how it handles it.

unless someone with identical hardware answers then you're just going to have to give it a shot & see what happens. IMO, you shouldn't have any problems as that's not a uncommon pci bus o/clock!

That NIC can handle 41.3Mhz PCI just fine.

I used to run my K6-2 @ 124Mhz FSB, and with only a 1/3 PCI divider that makes 41.3Mhz PCI, and that's the same NIC I had (and have).

SCSI is suppose to be a bit pickier though...

SCSI really depends on chipset. Adaptec is picky, while Symbios(LSI Logic now) based chipsets usually werent
