Can a G400 support a FSB of 112 (2/3) ..

[VISADE]

for a long time. Finally I got 560 for my
PIII but I don´t want to ruin my dear G400.

I am using a 112MHz bus right now with a G400, no problems at all. 2/3 is the only option that works with 112 here, not sure if there is a difference on a PII board.

I run my comp at 124*(2/3). 112 shouldn't be a problem.

My G200 and G400 MAX are happy with the 80mhz speed of the AGP bus. I'm running my board at 120mhz FSB.

I am maxed at 112 FSB (MB limitation), AGP X 2 at 150 MHz.

MAX resists any O/C attempts though performance is fine without.

In my experience, G400 can afford at least the AGP bus speed of 103 MHz. Of course, it is 1x mode.

I also have heard from my friend that it can afford 112 MHz AGP bus. I currently use 124 MHz CPU bus and try to set the ratio of AGP:CPU to 1:1. In other words, 124 MHz AGP Bus with 1x mode. However, it failed.
So the only solution for me is 124*2/3 = 82.67 MHz AGP bus with 1x mode...


My system is Celeron 300P@558,2.0v + P3B-F
+ G400 DH 32MB...

Uhhh.... 133FSB (89Mhz AGP) here.... Running like a champ..... No problems ... Even does AGP2X without forcing it...

Im running at 103 at 1/1 AGP bus, it will run at 112 at 1/1 but crash after a while. I think thats due to the CPU more than the G400 though.

My G200 worked at 100 AGP, so did my millenium2 AGP, and my Mystique170 ran at a 89Mhz PCI bus no problem. Matrox make quality stuff!!
