Jeff, A reputable manufacturer would never put 12 ns SDRAM in a 100MHz system - even if it works MOST of the time. Just like they don't overclock the CPUs. Just an afterthought. Reputable manufacturers do indirectly overclock cpus. You should delve into how Cyrix and AMD arrive at their 686 and K6 speeds. They are pushed to the limit, unlike INTEL, and they stamp the frequency at the high end. As an example, Cyrix chips run so hot for their socket 7 chips that they had to design a special heat sink and fan for cooling compared to the standard heat sink and fan for INTEL. ...now wouldn't you call Cyrix a reputable dealer and yet most would agree they are overclocking compared to INTEL. Overclocking is a relative term compared to different manufacturers and certainly subjective. DavidG
