hi, yes i ran my bp6 at 550 * 100 MHZ with 366's for a few weeks, two
matrox cards intel pro nic an ess pci sound card, and a scsi
adapter, had a few lockups in X but some of those were attributed to
software ie games and such, i considered it more stable like that than it
is now with a matrox g450 running dualhead, no scsi
