I've heard of that trick before - although - I think it mostly works if the circuitry is the failing component. And it may be, who knows. I also remember the good ol' days of overclocking 486's. There was a record holder who submerged their system board in liquid nitrogen (or something similar) and operated their 486 at 1.2Ghz. Played the fastest game of quake you ever saw. ;-) Probably got X-ray poisoning or something from it. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
