You can try to change some jumpers on your motherboard, but if I'm guessing right, you'll probably need a 100MHz motherboard to overclock it effectively. >What risks I will have? It will run hotter and break sooner. You'll probably want to get a nice aftermarket fan/heatsink for it so it doesn't overheat. >What increase I will have? If you switch to a 100MHz FSB, it will run at 504 MHz. >What is the cheapest 64 bit computer (without monitor, mouse, keyboard, >multimedia if possible and I don't care if it is a "CLONE") ?

There's more software for Linux anyway. >Can I add my 3DFX Monster II 3D 8 MB acelerator card? Yes, but getting drivers for it will probably be a bummer. >How much faster is the CACHE MEMORY than the SDRAM? Your L1 cache is 3 clocks. L2 cache is 8. SDRAM is maybe 15, but I think I might have done that calculation wrong because it sounds low. >Is there a way not to let the OS to use CACHE MEMORY in order to have it for the >chess engine? Unless you're using the Mac OS, you should be able to use all your memory for one program. It might take a while to get it all swapped in though. -Tom
