O/C'ed 500e@690, Windows98 slow?

[JoeDredd]

Hello

I have my CU-Mine running @690, Quake3 is running real fast, but windows98 SE seems slower now, ie the loading of windows seems slower as well as the refresh to windows from Quake3.

I know i have'nt explained this very well.

Please help

[JoeDredd]

Sorry forgot to say how.

Coppermine 500e
Hardware used I-Will Slocket2 on a A-Trend 6240 V2 Mobo
FSB set to 133
160mb Pc100
AGP Apeture 128
Windows 98SE

Need any more info let me know

As long as you don't have proper dividers (1/2 for AGP and 1/4 for PCI) you should disable UDMA in your MoBo's BIOS !!!

Btw, 5x133=667 and not 690 ... something's wrong with your numbers, Joe ...

Not concentrating today, stressful day!

Its @ a FSB of 138 or 143 i think

Actually 5 x 133 = 665. Check your numbers Markus

Acctually it's 5*133.3 or 666

Intel is a little hesitant to openly market chips from hell. Especially with them sometimes refered to the great satan of CPUs , or the great chip satan.

Actually 5 x 133.3 = 666.5

I think is was me being stupid as i have set the Slocket up for PPGA instead of FC-PGA, i will try it tonight and let you know if it was me.

[Maggi]

ok ... you made me to:

(133 + 1/3) * 5 = 666 + 2/3 is about 666.666666666666666666666666666666666 ...
or rounded in a mathematical correct way: 667

:P

All seems ok running @666, re-installed Quake3 & UT, all ok no, no real latency probs anymore.

Just a real fast system.

I used to despise Intel, as i used to steer clear of there products, and i was a dedicated AMD user, had a K5 & K6/2, but since the Coppermine & Celery have arrived, its changed my mind.

Woohoo bring on the MHZ.

P.S will still bu a AMD, when the next Gen ATHLON's arrive
