Hey
Thank you for your knowledge and research concerning these matters. I don't have an overdriver , but I recall Intel making one. The "Overdrivers" had a board that the cpu chip sat on. I don't think there was a need for any bios modifications on them. Just plug and chug because of the board. I cannot say about the AMD ones. My friend(yes I remember those days.) got an Intel one years ago. Wow, did it cost a lot of money($300). I do remember him having to reset some mobo jumpers for the bus thought. I still have a 386sx and have the first math co-processor put in a PC.(It's big and has gold all over it) . Anyway, do you know of a place where I could get a keyed 10 pin rs232 ?
Thanks again for you answering my questions.
Sincerely,
bitor
Side note:
On the Snap12000
I thought the SnapOS was limited to 1TB. The Snap website says that the Snap12000 has a max of 3TB. How is this possible ?

No on the overdrive...
Why? Because even if you have an overdrive (which people want too much for when you find one), on a PC, you still need a BIOS flash to support that CPU (the micro code stuff). I have not seen one of those BIOS flashes around for a SNAP 4000/4100, have you? I seriously doubt the BIOS on these boards will support those AMD overdrives. It is possible, but I doubt it, and I am not spending $50 plus shipping to find out. Someone else had one around here, and we asked him to test it, but he never did, or at least didn't report back on it. FYI, the overdrives work on Super 7 (Socket seven with some enhancements, remember those days?). I am pretty sure the 4000/4100 is a basic socket 7. Try it if you want. It shoudn't hurt anything, well at least not to the SNAP board, it just probably won't work. It is possible it could hurt the overdrive if the voltages don't match.
Yes, I researched this since the original posts on the subject because nobody else seemed willing...
