Elmer, Yes, 66 and 100 MHz bus are the magic numbers since most motherboards divide the bus speed by 2 or 3. So 66/2=33 and 100/3 works but 75/2=37.5, 83/2=41.5, 112/3=37.5, 124/3=41.5 run things out of spec.. So JY Wangs assertations have other implications since a P-II-450 @ 4.5 x 112=504 runs things out of spec.. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't but it makes the system inherently less stable. I KNOW you already knew this. <G>
