My S-Code doesn't like anything about 305 speed cache, i have to up the I/O voltage very high to 3.9v and i need to lower it to maybe 250 and maybe can overclock higher. Don't i need a pencil, and block out some of the pins on the connector? Please tell me how to do this THANX!!!

Cache speed is essentially derived from the FSB so I don't see how you can accomplish this. Older PIIIs had varying speed cache chips on the cpu board and some were faster than others. Usually, the cache chips limited the overclocking ability of those chips since some had poor cache chips, and would run out of steam before the core.

Hey Tim, Thanx for the reply, but i don't mean cache latency, i mean cache SPEED. Like how the New Celeron's have 1/1 cache speed, my P3 450 has a Cache Speed of 1/2. I would like to set it to 1/3. I know you can do it, i saw it someplace before. Also, why won't my Cache LATENCY change. I have the option to change it in my ABIT BF6 motherboard bios, but it won't change?
