Overclocking Redux...

Why it felt like it took so long is becuase, unlike previous G3s, the 750gx's core is physically smaller and it doesn't have any type of shim in place. Thus, the heatsink is resting solely on the processor core.
After taking it through the standard tests, plus an hour of more of straight Seti@home, I have come to believe that all is well. In fact, I've already taken the chip to 1.2GHz in the hope that the more efficient cooling will help it to cope with it.
Also, I reseated the card adapter thingie in my PC and it is purring along happily as I speak.

yay!!!
Love your writing style on this one, Tom! It kept me riveted to hearing about computer stuff :O
