Let me know how overclocking works on your machine?  I have a Centris 610
that was clocked when I got it. (20 Mhz -> 33 Mhz).  It was great.  I used
it for about 1.5 years when I decided I wanted to ethernet it with my
SE/30.  I spent 2 months trying to ethernet to work between the two. I
assumed the problem was the SE/30 because of the add in card and the 610
had ethernet built-in).  It turned out to be the overclocking on the
Centris causing the problem.  The instant I removed the clock chipper,
everything started working great.  Unfortunately, I started having more
crashes and freezes, especially with internet apps.  I think at 20 MHz, it
just couldn't keep upl
