Jim, you make a good point about hard drives and overclocking. My IBM 10GB drive became corrupted by running the bus at 83MHz. I suspect that when DMA/66 becomes a standard, overclocking will be VERY risky. Craig

Jim, >>I still like the DiamondMaxes...best bang for the buck and fast. Me too. And reliable. However, I was shocked recently when the Maxtor tech support guy told me they would not support Cyrix chips if the MB was running over 66 MHz. I didn't believe him. So I called Cyrix. They told me the same thing. I said I have a Cyrix 233 and a 3.2 GB Maxtor and never had any trouble using Ultra DMA/33. The Cyrix tech support said I was just lucky or I just had an older drive. I mention this only because we are on a Cyrix thread. Regards, Heu
