And that would also explain why when us overclockers go to work the flash rom tool still reports original speed (In my case 240mhz).
Not long now until I get my 69mhz crystal to replace the 66.67mhz one. Will increase the bus a bit more & provide faster CPU mhz.
I reckon then it will have to be one of the fastest Blizzard's around ?
