Scot,

The cache divider is not controllable through the Athlon's edge connector. In some cases, higher overclocked speeds may be possible by changing the cache divider from its default setting of 1/2 to 1/3.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this sentence say..."you may get better results by changing the cache divider, but our devices doesn't let you do this....." Is there some other way to change the cache divider? I'll send an e-mail to the manufacturer to get an answer unless anyone can comment.

My understanding is that there are no control lines available from the Athlon module to program/change the Cache divider, and hence they couldn't provide this feature on their thingy. By increasing the cache divider (or slowing down the Cache clock) one can attempt to overclock the CPU even higher without worrying about Cache failure. I'm not sure how the cache divider can be changed from the default setting - may be through the Bios?
