Yes. The first time I set my Celeron 300A to run at 450 mhz
and 2.0 volts core, the damned thang froze up and set my po'
heart palpitating. Bizarre, bizarre behavior ...

"powerup mouse double-clk"? I'm afraid I don't follow ...

ACPI has been disabled in my Award bios since the system
first POSTed.
Well, I've pored over the manual, bios, etc. Can't find anything
on soft switch.
And I have yet to encounter -anyone- who knows/can explain
how the damned thang works/does-not-work.
I cry "Uncle"!
