anyway, see the pic below for some fine mspaint art. u can see that it isn't that high tech. the middle pin of the ccmos always stays the same it is pin 1 and 3 that define ccmos or not. perfect situation for the standard switch. will add some more pics later that will hopefully clear it up some.

Man if only I could get my system past 133 I would be happy!!! Ever since I replaced my memory with Corsair XMS 2700 I cannot get past 133. It'll go to 134 but once I reboot I have to clear the CMOS. Before the new mem I had Geil and that would post all the way up to 151 fsb after that it was a memory hang in the post and I'd have to start all over again
I want a new board but I am having the hardest time deciding what to get!
