Thanks Jef,
I have the cpu OCed to 2.2G and FSB @ 400. As long as the
OS or other installed PGMs don't key off of this "unk cpu
ty" , I'll leave well enough alone.
I've been scanning other messages and have started to
wonder about "hyperthreading". Is this an Intel only thing
or do I need to check APCI?? in the BIOS?
