I'm running 2.1.5 on a T2P4 Rev 3.1 on a Intel Pentium 150 clocked at 200 (207.5MHz - 2.5*83MHz). No problems experienced with FreeBSD, Redhat Linux 4.1 and NT. Windows95 on an IDE drive crashes often but who cares :) any comaptibility problems with 2940 or ncr-conroller, DEC241? any other hints? In my experience (I'm technical director at GND - biggest retailer of ASUSTeK products in the UK) the overclocked T2P4 board does not work well with Adaptec SCSI controllers. In fact the T2P4S, which has an on board Adaptec 2940UW controller, has the jumpers for 75MHz operation removed - so prehaps ASUS knows it won't work! The ASUS SC875 (ultra/wide NCR) is fine as is DEC21041 based net cards. Most graphics cards I've played with (Matrox, S3 of various flavours) work well in an overclocked system.
