>As far as overclocking a chip - just to complicated for me and from what I have heard< I use to have the same opinion until I read some of the stuff Dirk posted and realized it was extremely simple, depending upon the motherboard. As long as one uses high quality ram that supports the higher bus settings and keeps the computer cool, you will be fine. The LX boards are tailored to 66 mhz bus speed. The BX boards are tailored to 100 mhz bus speed. The Abit bh6 allows you to change the bus setting just within the bios software. Very simple. Some overclockers are using the 132 bus setting but having stability problems. So Abit made the 124 bus setting possible, and if you have the AZZO ram, you can get tremendous speeds of 500 mhz plus with concrete stability by overclocking a 350/400/450 mhz chip. But as you said, for what you are doing, those speeds are not necessary. Did you know that Intel has discontinued the PII 300? Some sites I've called said they are out of them and will not get any more in. S.W.
