Re: Computer parts...

[Richard Zimmerman <ke4rit@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   I would strongly recommend you *DO NOT* overclock the cpu.... Yes Linux does
work on a overclocked system, but it's not "Rock stable". You are really better
off leaving the clock speed "per factory specs" and use hdparm to gain speed on
the hd side, then use other performance tuning... Adam had a great performance
tuning presentation. Adams presentation can be found at:

Good luck...
