those were the ones that were underclocked 366s but sold as 300s right?

They were underclocked 450s. They normally ran at a 66MHz FSB instead of the 450's 100MHz. Exact same chip between them. And hell yes I did the hell out of that.

It was like watching history play out before your very eyes.

Oh and old nail-polish-on-the-Athlon-bridges trick was serious cool too.

I had a Gateway 2000 Xeon 450mHz (I'd gotten into college and was studying sound design, so I actually needed something like that), and it stayed useful fr the better part of a decade, amazingly.

That must've cost a pretty penny, OZ.

Yes, man did it feel good to oc that chip.

I had a 200. I used it until 2002. I had no idea, and still have no idea, how to overclock, or what exactly overclocking entails.

Being poor growing up sucks.

overclocking is allowing your cpu to run faster than the default factory settings. This would be really beneficial if you're poor as its totally free to implement and gives you the performance of a more expensive more powerful chip for less money.

Although you run the risk of cooking your CPU if you ask too much of it. Hence all the cooling that people put on their machines.
