my leadtek mob actually comes with overclocking software (using the phoenix-award bios)for the nvidia150 chipset. thanks for the offer aaron. i am still fence-sitting right now... one reason i hold back is my intention to use multipe OS on this machine ( booting from diffferent drives via bios assignments) this toy has xp-pro will have xp64beta in a few weeks and also suse linux9pro64 in a few days. since I cannot anticipate how the various mods in timing will affect many performance variables in multiple OSes, i need to cool my jets until I have it figured out-- which could take forever as I can barely fart and chew gum at the same time...
