I just realised something, because of the internal settings could I pop in a 100MHz CPU in and use the 50MHz motherboard settings to get the 100MHz if its a DX2? I already bought the 66MHz CPU but if the above is true I will get the 100MHz asap to get the fastest CPU this motherboard can use.

Thanks Lazibayer I forgot about those ones but since the motherboard does not have a jumper setting for 66MHz do I keep the 33MHz jumpers as they are to get the 66MHz like what you said: 50: board works at 50MHz, CPU works at 50MHz 50 internal: board works at 25MHz, CPU works at 50MHz

At the moment I have the jumpers set to use a 486SX 33MHz CPU do I leave the settings alone for the 486DX2 66MHz CPU to work?
