On my motherboard of my 386, i have a cristal of 14,3 Mhz.
Now i get a cristal from a old networkatapter from 20 Mhz.

I'd be amazed if you posted this thread with that machine. WoW! I think I remember those PCs... from the 80s and I'd say not to try, since the components were much less forgiving back then... now things are designed not to blow up -- back then, part of the fun was the occassional spark, whiff of sulphur (or silicon), and foam extinguisher.

I just want to know if it works. And if it does you BETTER enter it in the CPU database.....if it goes that low. If it doesn't send them an email and have them enter it.
That would rock!

Early 90's. My first PC was a 386/SX25 in '93. $1300. :-D
I think you're wrong about the components being less forgiving. Hell, the CPUs were soldered in and weren't cooled... not even a heatsink. 5V CPUs, too. I shot sparks through the case several times, too, while playing in it with power on. Still ran flawlessly. How many modern systems could you say that about? :-)
Damn, I miss those days.

It can be done, actually a friend of my did and that is also the reason I started OCing (Almost 10 years ago)(Damn my friend..hehe).
Have a look here (http://sysopt.earthweb.com/overfaq.html#1.2)
And click (or double click)on "How do I "overclock?""
Good Luck
I still take my stance, older equipment dies faster.

I have two answers YES and NO.
There's a lot of equipment that will have a longer life than you and me (and that's the old equipment).
Today's equipment is built to last for about 10 years (economical reasons).
Equipment made before WW II is made to last for a lifetime, but there's a lot of equipment built after WW II that will last forever as well.
A saying a friend and I use is: van veur dun eurlog (it's in slang dutch, roughly translated: from before the war).
Xample: A friend (actually his parents) had a spade (made before or just after WW II) that outlasted 4 or 5 new ones.(It still might look brand new right now).

Sorry, I wasn't talking about spades or farm tractors :)
I don't know anything about them. I speak only what I have (at least some) experience with; but your point was well made and true.
There are many people born before WW2 that have outlived people born since, but that doesn't mean that people born before WW2 will outlive everyone born after (sorry, couldn't help play with the 'logic' of your blanket anology).
my dell 486 66 was made to last forever. i bet the thing weighed 40 lbs atleast. way too slow for me. i couldnt even play super nintendo on it at full speed. its in the junkyard where it should be.

You're GOOD......hehe ^_^ LOL
Old stuff does seem to last longer than the new... Mabey it just seems like it because we haven't seen the end of the newest stuff....Or not...
