anyway one would think a 266fsb cpu would make no difference and its unlikly the cpu was being pushed too far for default voltage...although that may be the case too..

you have given me an idea for wires running from under the cpu and maybe a jumper for the mod though.
The cpu as it is is recognised by the bios as "patch 0b5" or something, maybe it just didnt recognise it anymore (p35-dq6). The other possibility is I fluffed the mod somehow.
