Petz - Re: "Anybody know the limit of the "multiplier" on Intel BX and LX chipsets? " The clock multiplier is not on the chip sets - it is part of the CPU circuitry. Intel's current published information describes a 5x multiplier as the highest clock multiplier, but I think there is at least a 5.5x clock multiplier that exists on the 0.25 micron Celeron (Mendocino) and possibly the Pentium II as well. The Celeron A will be "bumped" next year to 366 MHz with a 66.7 MHz Front Side Bus, that implies a 5.5x Clock Multiplier on the Celeron/Mendocino. It may also (although this is speculative) exist on the Pentium II. Paul
