Not my P4 though of course! ;) I was @ Costco today and saw a Creative Blaster P4 1.3Gig rig so I rebooted it and went into the bios....voila! it was not locked :) So I said what the hell, let me add some bang to the buck for whoever might pickup the demo system.

So I went ahead and went into the advance tab. Noticed the multiplier is @ 13x and FSB is @ 100mhz. Hmmm, shouldn't P4 mobo's be running @ 400mhz as opposed to 100mhz? Anyways, I jacked the default voltage from 1.7v to 1.8v and added a measly 8mhz to the FSB, resulting in another 100mhz gain, so 1400mhz.

Booted up alrighty, so that was kewl. The system is attached to 3 monitors side by side by side, good thing it didn't get any BSODs otherwise the two chicks a few feet away from me woulda prolly noticed. But prolly not cause they were like busy with some other customers ;)

Woohoo! What a rush that was :lol FUN FUN FUN!!

OK, I'm over it now...just wanted to let you know my exciting day at the shopping mart :)

BTW, also picked up Mastering Windows 2000 Server book. Looks pretty good and insightful, even comes with a version on CDROM. $54Cdn, not bad at all. Takes you thru step by step.
