<What a piece of crap this ALi chipset is.> Could be a little tough for their silicon technology to handle 100MHz... Could be also a mindless tracing on the board (clear indication that you are a novice in the field is that you do not mention the board's manufacturer)... Could be also also a poor secondary power supply for Vcc2 (hey, you used to be an expert in this field in another time foil). Could be outdated BIOS that does not configure properly the bridge...(ALi chip requires some fine internal readjustments to run at 95 and above). <This AGP card ran fine at 112MHz for a month or two in a P-II/Asus system.> No surprise. It may run fine even for much longer time in that proprietary tuned combination from the same vendor:) <AMD needs to do something about this FSB stuff soon.> To my knowledge, AMD has no control over "swap meet engineering", especially in your area. <When consumers are wise enough..> they buy brand name computers where qualified engineers take care of SYSTEM INTEGRATION and ENGINEERING. <Since the system failed to run at even 95MHz, am I observing the FSB speed limit of Socket-7?> No, you are observing limits of your education. Disclaimer: the tone of this post was solely inspired by the overall negative spirit of John Wang "the Time Traveler" posts on this thread in the past.
