WELCOME TO MY LAB
Welcome to the lab! Here you will find my rig specs, my LAN setup, and tips for squeezing every last megahertz out of your chip without burning down the house (mostly).

Lab Notes
| 5/19/99 | Upgraded to 128MB. Everything opens so fast now. I can have FOUR browser windows open. |
| 2/17/99 | Flashed the BIOS. Held my breath the whole time. Success! |
| 11/15/98 | Got the LAN working with my brother's computer. Two hours of frag time before Mom said dinner. |
| 9/24/98 | Tried 112MHz. Blue screen. Smelled something. Backed off. |
| 8/10/98 | Bumped the front side bus to 100MHz. Booted! Ran Gibfest Arena for an hour, no crashes. |
Tips
Thermal paste: a dab, not a glob.
If it smells hot, it IS hot.
Do not overclock the computer you need for your term paper.
