Hello again!
I have opened the case, I am running the max
FSB (66mhz) and the max multiplier settings
(3.5x) I have tried switching the voltage
jumpers but there appears to be little (if
any) difference on benchmark scores.
Its running stable & relatively quickly, much
faster than it was when it was running the
shipped Win95. I cannot run 98 as I get a recurrent installation problem, I think my mother board may have been locked by Packard Bell to prevent upgrades to 98

You're not gonna get better bench scores by raising the voltage...all you're gonna get is a hotter CPU! Your 200 should run at 233 without increasing the voltage at all. Default is 2.8v...what did you increase it to?

You should be able to install Win98 too. What type of errors are you getting? Are you trying to update 95 to 98, or did you format & try a fresh install? If you're trying to update, you may have to rename WIN.COM to WIN.OLD to allow upgrade to run.

And my guess would be you'd see much better performance with 64mb of RAM due to the memory cache limit of most old socket 7 boards. You're seriously "over-RAM'd"

...there is no spoon...
