Now you've got me puzzled. What's wrong with a multiple of 40 or 50 MHz (always assuming the motherboard can run at one or the other of thoses speeds)? I would expect that a higher motherboard speed would be desirable, too. Could it be that the motherboard is expected to clock at 60 MHz for the PP180? That would make more sense to me than running a 30 MHz clock and a 6X multiplier. -- Ken Are you interested in | byte-sized education | http://www.play-hookey.com over the Internet? |
