i have an e2140 that i did a BSEL mod on, im starting to regret not going further tho, its set to 266mhz fsb instead of 333, ive noticed a lot of people have a hard time getting an e2140 passed like 266mhz fsb or so, mine hits 400mhz fsb no problem, all tho if i try to go much further i start having problems, stuff that looks like FSB problems but my fsb should be able to hit 533mhz fsb or so without bumping the voltage, and if i max the voltage it makes no difference so im thinking that its the CPU side bus interface, i think that im able to get it to 400mhz no problem because i think the BSEL mod loosened the timings, i am REALLY taking a stab in the dark here thats why im posting what i think cuz im hoping someone knows more than me

been wanting to hax my BSEL mod to be 333mhz fsb instead and see if that lets me get more FSB out it, lazy cuz its a really big pitb to pull it and etc

also wondering if anyone could tell me what kinda results they got personaly with or without BSEL mod

originally i did the BSEL mod cuz i had a really junky VIA board and it needed BSEL mod to overclock at all
