Do these machines not have safety regulator devices designed to stop you overclocking too far ? I once read an online article about a group of students who took on an overclocking project on an old 33 MHz 486. Using a freezer (set to be really cold) and some ice packs, and a dehumidifier, they gradually managed to overclock this poor old 486 up to about 800 MHz before it got too much and it melted. Maybe you could feature that in a Nerd Boy strip :o) -- Graeme Porter -^-_ _ / [_][_]_:_ Proud owner of a 1978 /| _||_ v Pearl Fiberglass Shell kit | / \ | -=/=\\____//=\=jaa
