Now I'm paranoid. Check what little box?? ;)

The box in the javascript pop-up that says "Starware Bowser Toolbox" with a checked-box; just uncheck it. Personally I got a clean version on usenet...

I remember overclocking my overdrive from 50mhz to 100mhz and burning it out in about a month on my old Compaq Prolinea 4/25s. Basically the stock multiplier was set from 25mhz to 33mhz, then the overdrive, designed to upgrade a 25sx to 50dx, was installed doubling that value. So I ran it at 66MHz for awhile fine (6 months) but decided I needed more. There was a pin you could jump on the CPU to ground to double the multiplier from x2 to x4. So hence I set the mobo back at 25MHz and had 100MHz in the end. I drive for 33x4=120 but it wouldn't boot. No additional voltage was needed for 100mhz, but it did burn up fast. I warrantied it and they sent me back a Pentium 63MHz overdrive, which I later overclocked to 83mhz. It still wasn't faster than the 486/dx4-100 overclock. I was unhappy. They had discontinued the 486 overdrives when it burned up and was warrantied to push their crappy pentium line.

The flying toasters were originally used by Jefferson Airplane on the album cover of Thirty Seconds Over Winterland. I'm sure that After Dark had to settle with the copyright holder in order to be able to continue to use the flying toasters as a screen saver.
