L110 is identical to L100 for the overclocking. Only the jumpers initially closed on the L110 is different vs. the L100 (because they've been jumpered to run at different speeds). Xin's fixup.net site has his take on overclocking the L1xx series, but otherwise, those who have overclocked L100's and L110's using my site have no problems thus far. 90% success rate over 40+ people who have done the overclocking; the other 10% have had to undo it because the CPU simply can't take it. But as for another 33 Mhz on the L110, I'd say it's not even worth the trouble of taking apart a L110, overclocking it, and then seeing if you've killed it or not. For the L100, certainly because you can turn it into a very useable machine after overclocking, esp. given the low-low pricing today on Ebay.com. Best bet however for those wanting a bit more umpf from their L110s? 1) max ram to 64MB. It'll make it run as fast as it possibly can. 2) replace HD with 30+GB 9.5mm HD. The latest HDs transfer data far quicker than the ol' <3GB HD on the L110, and that alone will make your L110 feel quite snappy. bigger 2MB cache buffers also do wonders for snappiness and performance on the L110. 3) defrag completely with a good disk defragmenter like Norton Speed Disk. (minor, esp. on a newely setup system, so don't bother with this unless you've got time and money to waste). 4) Windows 98SE or lower. Anything higher will kill system performance. Turn off 'display icons in all colors', use 16-bit display mode, turn off animated menus, turn the background to pure black, etc. will keep the OS running as quickly as possible w/o lagging due to silly shadows and animations. 98lite.net if needed to squeeze out extra performance. With maxed out ram, 30GB HD, and Win98SE optimized, my L110 is running quite snappily for the most part and does a great job as a portable laptop. ===== adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
