     Ok, lets go...

     Please could you tell me how you have "clocked" you 66 to 80. I have
     yet to see a motherboard with clock over 50mhz. ie 486dx50. Unless
     you mean you have set the bus to 40mhz, and the ODP to 80. I must
     missed the part where you told us about the air conditioner you placed
     in side the case to keep the CPU cool. Or maybe you have the new water
     cooled CPU system?

     Looking forward to your fireworks, and a sad face when Intel / Amd
     refuse to replace the chip. I know of an instance of Intel refusing
     warranty on a 66 because the customer had NOT overclocked it.
