Why not, be careful though with the temp because it will get higher, at least a big little (10° or more, athlon & duron are quite hot !).
Good luck !

With as cheap as CPU's are, why not just get a faster cpu?

ok, one question, i have a Pentium III 667 in my other box, if i bump the FSB to 140mhz i get 700mhz and if i bump it to 150mhz i get 750MHz, i have PC150 SDRAM so thats not a problem, any other suggestions on how i can get it higher? BTW, the mobo is an ABit VH6 with the "yy" bios revision dated May, 3rd 2001.

because we like to push our s.hit, we like to see how much it will take.
