Dual Athlon's At 1.59GHz !

How is this possible you say?....Well, here is the long and the short of it:

OCing the Thunda' using 2 techniques.
First off; there was a need to address the issue of needing more MoBo real estate for cooling, and adjusting the multiplier using Golden Sockets.
Tyan fell off the standard for new MoBos a bit by placing caps and resistors in the NO-COMPONENT zone, thus the first element is just as important as the second.

The second technique, which is not used in the present Overclock of 1.59ghz, is by adjusting FSB through the 2 multi-position EV-6 jumpers. It has apparently skipped everyone's notice that you don't need 2 three position jumpers to select only 2 options for what should be, identical EV-6 bus frequencies. The hard part is that there are thousands of possible permutations, and it is damn tedious work testing them all. So far I have 88.6, 100, 120, 133 and 140 (DDR).
