Intel says its "Processor Frequency ID Utility" runs a benchmark to determine approx. frequency. Therefore, running that utility may actually be sufficient for determining FSB speed. Intel provides a bootable version of the utility, so you can bypass XP to run it.

Also try running CPUBench and/or more of the tools here:

The "lite" version is apparently free. (I got a giggle out of: Freeware, $19.95)

Thats about it, I agree w/ Leslie on CPUID.

Isn't the powerleap's claim to fame is that their adapters control the voltage and DON'T rely on the MOBO? Isn't there a seperate power connector for this? Is so where do you hook it up on the Kiosk? - Just my ever fading memory.

Memory is here and works!! 512MB Now ! $84.98 including EXPRESS shipping!! Ordered Friday.

Emailing vendor now for approval to post his address. Will post either way.

Don't get that, but I am VERY happy with what he provided.

So - go to ebay and search on "PC100 256MB 16x8". I'm not saying anything you don't know.

As JimC knows - I think the 16X8 part is important.

Sorry I can't be more help.

Somebody needs some basic education in business. Wow! He must be independantly wealthy.

I disagree, it is fully possible. Many (most?) motherboards actually switch FSB automatically and transparently when you plug in a compatible CPU. The unsucessful previous attempts very early in this thread were likely incompatible for other reasons, most likely voltage or multiplier (multiplier is fixed on all modern CPUs, but must match an available option on the MB.) I don't own a system that I haven't tried to overclock (except the one in my car) and this turn of events doesn't really surprise me at all

We should have tried the Powerleap before attempting to get tricky, I actually assumed that someone did.

I'm looking forward to further confirmation, it still could be a mis-reporting of the FSB, but I will not be shocked if it isn't.

Just for you guys, I ran home at lunchtime.
