'overclocking' is making a CPU go at faster than the CPU's rated speed. Putting in a CPU rated at a higher speed is, well, pretty much exactly what you just did on the B&W :-) The speed jumper settings on the Beige are different steps than on the B&W, so you will have to play with them a bit; you may not get 400 MHZ exactly out of it. Other World Computing used to have a good guide to setting the jumpers. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
