Ah yes, I remember changing those jumpers to get that display show the correct speed, after overclocking my "CyrixInstead" 486.

Do you remember seeing jumpers on the motherboard for that? The only ones I recall seeing were on the display in the case itself, like this this: http://www.minuszerodegrees.net/led_speed_display/LED%20disp...

Yes these jumpers resided on the display board.

You are exactly right. They were never on the motherboard
