> Also first computer I overclocked, a french company called Centek had made a tiny board that reclocked the 68030 from 16 to 25 MHz. I looked it up and found their website here : http://centek.free.fr/atari/ct2/ct2_hist.htm

Oooh that brings up some memories! I remember that name and I know I had some overclocking card, not sure anymore if it was the CENTurbo II though or maybe the Nemesis/CENTurbo 1. I'm pretty sure it was not a CT60 or Afterburner 040, as those were probably above my budget. But now that I read about it, all those names ring some bells again ;)

There was also something that allowed use of PCI graphics cards IIRC, but that might just have been the CT60 actually.

It was fun tinkering with all that stuff, what a contrast to todays unified RAM soldered everything computers...
