Your answer sort of implies that installing PP180 in a motherboard like ASUS P6NP5 (which says "PP200") means it will be run at 200 (I may be misreading your message, of course). As a person to whom hardware is a necessary evil, I freely admit I may be somewhat (I am trying to flatter myself) ignorant in that respect, but I was hoping it is possible to set the motherboard to work at 180. Am I mistaken? t. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tony Porczyk * tporczyk@infobound.com * San Jose, California GIT/ED d++$(!d) s++:++ a?
