Daniel, re:<Petz, on overclocking Athlons, most of what I've read says doing it with the mobo bus frequency alone is pretty limited.> The KX133 chipset boards, if they include higher bus options in their BIOS are apparently not as limited as the AMD 750 boards. Here's a review of the Epox board where they overclocked it 15% just by changing the bus speed (thats the limit in the Epox BIOS). ocworkbench.com The KX133 chipset is supposed to be capable of 133 MHz CPU bus (266 MHz) and there's a jumper on the board for that, but I don't know whether that feature really works, if any Athlon CPU's can run at 133 MHz FSB (twice that considering DDR) or if my CPU could hit a GHz! The memory speed can be set at FSB, FSB+33 or FSB-33. The same CPU in an AMD chipset board would only overclock 8%, indicating that the chipset is the limiting factor. I'm waiting for a new HD to install Win2K on, but I'll let you know how this baby runs. Petz
