It depends on which model of CyberStorm you mean. The CSPPC (and
presumably the Mk3) require the clock jumpers to be set to EXT. The Mk2
needs them at INT.

I would have thought pressing on a desk would do less damage than on the
monitor display :)

I nearly died when I watched Ian from White Knight fit an 060 to my new
CSPPC. I've fitted tyres with less effort :-o

Leaving the support pegs out means the CPU slot is taking the weight of
the card, something it was never designed to do in a desktop 4000. The
card should click onto the pegs, keeping it where it should be.
