That would be me. Well, actually it's just a measly TX97-X.

No problemo at 83 MHz and a 3.5 multiplier. YOW! Ladies and gentelmen, can
you say FORKING FAST!!? Oh, be*HAVE*!

I've got two 12ns 64MB SDRAMs and no problems.

I was having problems overclocking, but I switched the MB for another of the
exact same model, and replaced the two 32MB dimms with 64MB dimms, and suddenly
everything went swimmingly. Note: when I was having the problems with the
earlier MB, 83MHz worked BETTER (it actually booted) than 75MHz.

YES!
