I believe that was me, Martin.  I did it more as an experiment than
anything else.  <bg>  BTW, that WU is *still* crunching!  Machine is
a Packard Bell Model PB1120 (420 Mobo), Intel 486DX\8Mhz (Turbo
off), 0 L2 cache, 12MB RAM, 200MB HD running Win98SE.

486DX *8*Mhz? I didn't know Intel made one. I take it it's an
underclocked faster chip?

Exactly.  It's *supposed* to run @ 25Mhz.  With Turbo *on* it runs @
16Mhz so it's severely underclocked.  I didn't bother changing
jumpers as I wanted to see how it ran *as is*.

That is so, like, incomprehensible to a dyed-in-the-wool overclocker such as
myself. :-)
