Does it run OK if you jumper it back to 133Mhz?

Pity about the chipset though...

Not with my fucking motherboard, you don't!  It might have the shitty AMI
BIOS, but at least it runs a treat (OS/2 & Win95) at 160MHz.

Neurotic housewives need to reduce that time by a factor of 6.

I'm not surprised.  You have developed a physical tolerance.  Did you know
that the withdrawal symptoms from Valium addiction are actually worse than

I was joking.  Valium (Diazepam) is actually quite addictive.

No big deal, just as long as you get to watch Ricki Lake instead.  :)

True, I had noticed.  :)
