As a follow up on the overclocking card to answer some questions I had.... It costs $80. I was also wondering about cache speeds...from the manufacturer's web page: Now you can maximize the performance of your AMD Athlon processor with the Afterburner Athlon Overclocking Card. A simple array of three rotary dials control CPU speed and core voltage. No physical modification to the frequency and core voltage resistors is required. Simply plug the Afterburner into the top edge connector of the Athlon, connect the card to its pass through power supply cable, set the dials to the desired speed, and light the fires on your computer! The cache divider is not controllable through the Athlon's edge connector. In some cases, higher overclocked speeds may be possible by changing the cache divider from its default setting of 1/2 to 1/3. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this sentence say..."you may get better results by changing the cache divider, but our devices doesn't let you do this....." Is there some other way to change the cache divider? I'll send an e-mail to the manufacturer to get an answer unless anyone can comment. -Scot
