Re: "I think I read on one of the overclocker sites that the AGP (or maybe it was PCI) clock was synchronous with the bus clock, so you can't really do that." Can't be. The host bus runs at 100MHz and AGP runs at 66MHz and PCI runs at 33. The interaction between the clock domains would require a redesign but maybe not a major one. EP

<Another way out for INTEL not mentioned yet is to re-spec the BX chipset for 133 MHz. Viola! Intel has PC133 support, sockets for all its CuMines and it doesn;t need RAMBUS. I think I read on one of the overclocker sites that the AGP (or maybe it was PCI) clock was synchronous with the bus clock, so you can't really do that.> Good point. I remember reading this elsewhere.
