Lamerz. Mine’s 4,841.5 MHZ And I’ve got 7458MB of ram. With a 48" monitor and a 997GB hard drive with a 789K modem. I have an optical keyboard. I just look at the letters and it types them for me. Of course, next week, my computer will be obsolete… ---

I don’t remember much about the early pII’s, whether they ran hot, or oc’d well, or even whether they were multiplier locked. If it is multiplier locked, then you probably can’t do much unless you have a motherboard that allows you to bump the bus speed by a little (to 100 would be too much). If it isn’t you can almost certainly get to 266, and probably to 300. Myself, I’m running a celeron 366 at 558, and it’s about damn time to build myself an Athlon Tbird machine. ---
