overclocking a PII 266 (Intel, with a LX 440 Micronics motherboard)
How fast can I take it to, without having bugs or problems, and.....
If I up it to say 300 or 350 MHz, will it make a significant difference in
GPL ???
Thank you

Remember, you are doing something that the manufacturer did not engineer
into the motherboard/processor, and you may, or may not, get away with
it.
Yes, many are sucessfull with this. However, you usually don't hear of
the disasters because of the embarrasment involved... I have replaced
many a motherboard/processor destroyed by clock-chipping.
Just keep one thing in mind. It may work, or you may damage your
computer.

I did just this to my Dell (Intel 440 FX board) and I got about a 10%
increase in GPL framerate - for a full field start with all detail, only
cars in mirrors, and about 1/4 detail bias, at Nurburgring, my frame rate
went from 15 to 18 just before start, with the minimum going from 11 to 14
fps.
BTW, prior to this, I got a bigger performance gain going to a PCI sound
card (Diamond Monster M80 - poor sound, but helped framerate).
