I am seriously considering swapping my CPUs for 300 MHz and running > those at 300Mhz/100Mhz setup. The question I have is: Hmm.. I've got a Dual PII 333 too(also 256MB, but a Asus MoBo). If you insist to overclock your CPU(i think 2x PII 333 is fast enough). Why don't you run your computer at 5.0x 83 = 416 Mhz. If you do that, even your PCI runs faster than 33Mhz. But I won't advise that. > Would 300Mhz/100Mhz combo show really better performance than > 333MHz/66Mhz under my hardware setup (256Mb ram and dual CPU)?

If I run at 5.0x 66Mhz my Mem still runs at 100Mhz(I don't know this for sure, don't flame if it isn't true) Bert-Jan --- ---------------------------------- Cya, Bert-Jan Steerneman ---------------------------------- E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 19925787 Linux, The Choice of a GNU Generation! ----------------------------------
