166/133Mhz is the first I'd try nowadays; 100Mhz only if you don't want to solider and simply cut one pin off the IC I note on my website's overclocking section. You'll know right away if the Lib will run overclocked (and since you are trying to go faster, might as well see if fastest will work like Xin's L50 did - see his website at fixup.net). Anyways, the key here is to leave things so you can reverse the process in case the CPU just can't handle the faster speed. Sometimes, you just get a CPU that doesn't make it. The next most important thing is to make sure you've got the CPU heatsink on right and have a super-thin layer of thermal grease in between. There's a handful of overclockers who reported to me that just reinstalling the heatsink properly with some thermal compound fixed their entire overheating/crashing problem after overclocking. Besides that? Good luck! At least on the L110, about 90% of the attempts to go to 266Mhz were successful out of the 40+ reports I've received from people who have tried. --- On my L50/J, it went right to 100Mhz w/o a problem. I wasn't into doing surface mount solidering, so I figured the nail clipper thing was the easiest to do on my $2k baby. (yep, imported that pricey babe just when it was released years ago) See archives for my nail clipper notes on the L50/J or my overclocking article on my site to see which pin to cut. Finally, get the L50 out on a nice big table, covered with white paper so you can find screws that jump away. Take you're time, and it should take about 30 minutes or so to disassemble it to where you can get to the components - assuming you've never done it and are taking a long gander at everything on the way in. Take pictures to make sure you know how to put it back together again. Have fun! =) ===== adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
