It was a Japanese website that I first saw it on. YOu had to translate 
it with Babelfish. Basically he had to change resistor values. I'll 
wait until PowerLogix or someone like that make a version, then we can 
just use dip switches to overclock it like all of the lower MHz 
upgrades. Suffice to say that modding your Sonnet is not for the weak 
at heart.

Yes, you can overclock the system board. Some people have gotten as 
high as 66MHz, but that is rare. Most of the S900s can handle 56 MHz 
with ease. I got mine to 62MHz, but it was kind of unstable. Usually 
this is done with swtiches on the upgrade daughtercard, but Sonnet 
doesn't let you do this. They market their products as non-technical 
and simply plug and play. They make good stuff, but if you want to get 
the absolute max out of your system, go with someone else.
