Good luck. :)

alright...any reccomendations for a good solvant to get the superglue off of the proccy. I'm using nail polish remover at the moment...

Make sure it has acetone in it.

Hopefully that will help you in your ventures, good luck :D

Hmmm. I was thinking about overclocking my 1900+, but now after reading this post I'm getting cold feet.

you can still overclock it by upping your fsb...that doesn't requite anything but changing a setting or 2 in your bios :)

Yeah even people who unlock the multiplier are using their FSB to OC. What most do is drop the multiplier so they can really raise the FSB. However, if you keep the multiplier locked you can still raise your FSB well into the 140's

well...didn't work. So I'm gonna give up unlocking it for the time being...as I'd rather have a functional computer at the moment. And I'll just raise the FSB for now. I really hope you don't have to go through all this with the T-Breds.

Dremmel with the soft white (looks like cotton) buffing disk. I've used it to buff defogger off after failed attempts and it works great at lower RPMs.
