Maxwell, >>” I have a 350MHz K6-2. On my Asus motherboard I can overclock to 400MHz without changing Vcc. On my Shuttle I can't even overclock the same chip to 380MHz. Not every MB is created equal.”<< AMD gave out a reference design to place boat loads of ceramic capacitors underneath Socket-7. These capacitors should be made of NPO/COG. They then should filter out any switching noise caused by switching at 350/400MHz or so. Although the Socket-7 MB I bought does not have a name (the specification book has a cartoon picture of a dragon fly), it does have these capacitors underneath this Socket-7. I really cannot accept my incapability of overclocking a K6-2/333 to 350MHz as the fault of my MB. However, a specific MB would affect the FSB. >>”The 10 dimensional superstring theory I introduced you is the latest theory that physicists currently believe to be the unified field theory.”<< Any ideas that first conjectured by a scientist has to be rigorously examined by peers. Before the majority of the physicists out there accept this idea. It would remain a hypothesis. Although the String theory (hypothesis) is not new, it has a shaky acceptance when first introduced. We can not take any hypothesis as a golden anchor to explain the very foundation of physics. Time Traveler
