[QUOTE="drjayez, post: 700357, member: 58900"] It depends on your level of technical skill. If you do a 12V mod on the processor card it will run the quicksilver processor. As mentioned above, you will lose your PATA33 connector, so you would need a PATA PCI card to run your DVD. CPU speed x bus speed times clock multiplier. Your 733 runs at 133x5.5=733. So at a 100 Mhz FSB, it will run at 550 mhz 100 x 5.5=550. There are some unreliable modifications to attempt to run 133 Mhz. They seem a bit flaky and clearly depend on whether the memory is PC133 or not as well. The easiest way to handle this hurdle is modify the quicksilver module so that it will run at a 7x or 7.5x multiplier. This involves surface mount resistor modifications. See my thread from a few days ago for more details on that. It doesn't have to be done with dipswitches. I am sure that you can just permanently modify it to 750 Mhz with less difficulty. [/QUOTE]
