Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk
drives, expansion boards, and other components. Always observe the
following precautions before you install a system component.
1.Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you
are ready to install it.
2.Wear a wrist ground strap and attach it to a metal part of the system
unit before handling a component. If a wrist strap is not available,
maintain contact with the system unit throughout any procedure
requiring ESD protection.

High CPU core voltage may be able to
increase CPU speed for overclocking, but you may
damage the CPU or reduce the CPU lifecycle.

VIA Apollo KX133 chipset supports
maximum 200 / 266 MHz EV6 Bus and 66MHz AGP
clock, higher clock setting may cause serious system
damage.
If your system hangs or fails to boot
because of overclocking, simply use <Home>
