Bought brand new for work.

First PC that I connected to the public web.

Nice look but stock CPU was too slow.

First computer that I de-soldered the four pin clock chip off the motherboard.

The replacement clock came from http://www.outputenablers.com and worked great!

how fast did you clock it up to?

If I recall correctly it went from stock 25 MHz to 30MHz with no stability problems but much beyond that and things got flakey.

Dunno, probably that or Krylon. Don't hate, this was way before retrobright was discovered!
