Good morning to you Jeff, how are you today ?

        I have not bothered you for a while so here goes.

        Can you explain this? In my BIOS for this VIA 800, I see under:
        VIA C3 Clock ratio this :  Default
        Current Host clock      :  133 ( I can toggle it to 166 )
        Current DRAM clock      :  100 ( I have two choices 100 and 133)
        and at the end of this line : HCLK -33

        In my mind, these are reversed, I think that the Host is the CPU
        and DRAM is memory sticks. When I first built this system about
        one year ago now, it came up on BIOS as both at 133, so I left
        them there. A techie told me that the VIA 800 would run better
        at 100 and I find that it is quite a bit faster if I set the
        DRAM clocl at 100 and leave the Host at 133. This is where my
        mind is confused. I would have thought that the Host should be
        set at 100 but it is at the smallest value of 133.

        The VIA C3 clock from Default, can be toggled to 3.5, 4, 4.5,
        5 etc. Are these overclocking rates ? My pamphlet is not too
        explicit and obviously not meant for the home fixeter. That is
        why I come to you. Thanks in advance.
