don't ya just luv it when...

[Jorden]

Maybe on the Athlon board Maggi

Wonder who will fit out their mobo with a SLOT 1 and SLOT A first

At least it gives you a choice ...

Hey tish,
I have a dude with a backdoor connection with a lot of distributors but the Max is proving to be a little tougher than he thought , don't want to pay top dollar just yet
P.S. the new case I got (235 watt supply on the old one wouldn't cut it with all the fans ) is great! 78* F case temp! good fan position I guess
jim

anyone know of any deals for PC-133?

PIII-500mhz @ 620!, Abit BE6 mobo, 128mb pc-100, Mill G200(still!!!) 8mb sgram @ 210 with MGATweak) PD 5.25, Maxtor 13.2 gb Uata66 hdd, SB Live!, winblows 98se, DX7, THREE BIG FANS, six little ones and a case that sounds like a turbine engine...doh!

Maggi,
I have Asus Bios rev.1010 that adds multiplier support up to 7.5x for my P2B-L
....I didn't see any info with regards to
additional bus freq. higher than 112MHz.....???
Do you recall where you saw this?
Thanks!

My plain P2B can jumper to 133 (and it's an older board...over a year old now). It was not documented in the manual, but I found it somewhere. To bad my memory can't take it .

Anyway...for my P2B, the jumpers would be:
FS0 2-3
FS1 1-2
FS2 1-2

------------------
P2-450(112*4.5=504), Asus P2B (1010), 128meg pc100, MillenniumG400 32meg DH (5.??), 3com 3c905b-tx, SB Live!value, Dual USR 56k Sporsters, WB 8.4&6.4 UDMA, CL PC-DVD, Mistumi CD-RW

[DuRaNgO]

well my supplier couldn't come through with the MAX so I opted for the g400 32mb dual for $160 us and this thing rocks! BWAHAHAHAHA!
I can't wait to replace that silly heatsink with a real one and a fan tunnel and get that chip and memory really nippy!
then it's off to the o.c'ing races!

yes another update:
today I took two old g200 heatsinks, wonder where they came from? and "cut" it into 2" x 1" strips then fragtaped them onto my mem chips of the g400 (one per heatsink each side, make sure the Tennmax bga can still fit as well as not to block your dimm slots ) now just waiting for the bga

Jorden, the dual cpu/onboard scsi (DS) versions of the P2B board don't have that ability. The "secret" setting to get the FSB at 133MHz is the last option available on that 3 dip-switch setup;

It's 50, 66, 75, 83, 100, 103 and 112. That's a total of 7 combinations of those 3 on/off options. that leaves one left (2^3=8), which is the one combination who shall give those 133MHz. When I do that, I get the FSB at 111MHz resulting in an accurate 500MHz for a 450MHz cpu. But I want those 4 MHz extra with the 112 option

Hey, durango, I just got the new chassis I ordered, and it's so big and roomy compared to the old one! and much more quiet too. Now only thing I have to do is slab asphalt plates (tare with glu at one side and thin plastic at the other) on the inside walls. That dampens CPU fan/HD/PSU fan vibrations and making the thing even more quiet.

You're shingling your computer? Now I envision a little white picket fence and a tiny rose garden!

Jorden,
Nice thought, but who would want to slow an Athlon down like that? I don't think the Slot1 architecture hardware would like what the EV6 bus can do ;-)
