[Ham-Computers] Pentium II 233 Over-Clocking ?

Wed, 16 Jan 2002 10:16:24 -0500

I think 'overclocking' is kind of a computer hobbyist thing. The goal is
just to be able to say "I did it"
Kind of the presant day equivalent of swapping 6146's to find the 'hottest"
one.
Not that the extra 5 or 10 watts will make much differance.
