Good call.

check the crappy MP3 player, and see if it is compliant or actually. check your computer system USB devices, and see if you have USB 1 ports or a USB 2 port further, is the USB 2 an overlay for all the USB 1 ports or does it apply to one of the USB ports.

I want to feed the cold water to a holding tank where it mixes, so that it is cool water, which is fed into each boxes local water supply.

so each box can be independent, but can be piped into active colder cooling too

72fsb is only 576mhz
75 gives you 600
you didn't mention what voltage you are running the cpus at. at least 2.10v I'd say
much voltage and OC'ing needs much cooling.

check your Voltages setting Voltage Configuration will be set at W83782D Standard so it will be showing the 1.50v VTT rail - the one affected by the 100uF capacitor. if you set it to W83782D Abit BP6 it will show the two CPU voltage settings. this is nice, but it's more important, with bad caps, to ...

if you have activated the windows on the Dell, then you won't be able to do it again on the bp6.

if your Dell didn't need activation, you might be able to get away with it.
like with a notebook, comes pre-activated.

the compressor is the heat exchanger moisture sucking bit, it goes outside.....

the cold air output would be dehumidified and dry and cold, and non-moisture producing.
it might get to be moisture promoting due to the coldness and condensation, if you turn it up too far.

possibly heat.
with only 32mg of ram, it's more likely to be an overlay texture render thingy where you don't have enough video card memory to properly display all the game goodness you need.

It's a BIOS display thing. wouldn't worry about it.
MBM will show the 'correct' speed in windows.

plus, you will be hard to get a useable stable system much past 78 FSB without serious cooling.
