Well, all is well with the system now but I will still need a new mobo to take advantage of the CPU. I have finally figured out the trick to "overclocking" the system and have found that this board will simply not do an FSB of 133 Mhz. Setting the frequency to 133 prevents the computer from even attempting to post. I cannot even get to bios to reset it. I have to unplug the system and pull the bios battery to reset the bios to defaults so I can boot up again. I have since successfully bumped the FSB up to a mere 110 Mhz. I will try bumping it up again and again until it fails and just go below that. This board wont even handle what the MSI sites say it will. It is supposedly capable of using up to an XP 2600+ which requires an FSB higher than this thing can actually handle. praedor - -- The First Amendment rests on the assumption that the widest possible dissemination of information from diverse and antagonistic sources is essential to the welfare of the public. - --Justice Hugo Black -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+5hLjaKr9sJYeTxgRAp+5AKCOcz0scMISP412FPNW+0ul2Uq4OQCaAtDL xZxsN1BFhtpA2UrvkNev1a4= =F+MZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
