Sure, it may work, but it certainly voids your warranty on the board, isn't recommended, and may cause all kinds of strange things to happen which you won't be able to reproduce or track down! Stick with rated parts, at rated speeds folks. It's much easier on your nerves and wallet. -- Karl Denninger (karl@ddsw1.MCS.COM, !ddsw1!karl) Public Access Data Line: [+1 312 566-8911], Voice: [+1 312 566-8910] Macro Computer Solutions, Inc.
