    Not if it still has the bios supplied by Compaq.

    What type of cooling do you have on that 1900?

    Well, I know on the K7S5A you can change the FSB speed in the BIOS, but I'm not sure about the overclocking features of the Pro version.

    What's the difference?

    For the Pro version you will need this bios and it is for with or without LAN and Fastwrites are enabled. I used it on my wife's old machine and it worked well with PC2100 to 143fsb. After that you will start running into corruption errors due to the system bus being too high for the HDD controller. You will also need the AMI Flash utility for flashing the bios.

    pin mod to a higher multiplier is also an option.
