Searching for the maximum

As I've already posted my old system specs in another thread, it's not necessary to post it all over again. But, for the sake of completeness, I'll happily announce that I'm running a 5 years old 440ZX motherboard, on which a dated sloth named Celeron 400 crawls at 66MHz FSB. My mobo has an AGP 2x p...

Okay, I'll try to find 100MHz FSB P3s then. BTW, I tried to run my Celeron at 600MHz today, after installing a new Heatsink-Fan. The POST went okay but the system didn't even load the NT loader ..it just restarted the system again after completing the POST. The heatsink became very hot, so I had to ...

Thanks for all the much needed information! But, I still have a few questions left ...so I won't be waving goodbyes any time soon. :wink: 1. Can I run P3 (CuMine) 133MHz FSB CPU on my mobo. Is it possible to run it slower at 100MHz FSB? I'm asking this just because I may not be able to find 100MHz F...

Okay, lets cut it short. I guess it won't be possible to run Celeron 1.4GHz (Tualatin) on my mobo. So as Denniss suggests, I should opt for CuMine 100MHz FSB CPUs. But, what I still can't figure out is whether I'll be able to run CuMine ~1GHz on my mobo without any manual voltage tweakings or not. I...

According to the mobo manual, only 256MB of RAM (2@128) is supported. Allow me to add that my poor mobo doesn't have *ANY* voltage setting jumpers on it. It doesn't even have voltage/clock increment option in BIOS. The only avilable option to change CPU/PCI clock speed is given in the chipset featur...

Well, I've already patched my BIOS with BP patcher 4.51, so I suppose it now supports Tualatins. Is it necessary to buy a special slocket with "voltage regulator", even if I follow the pin connection and modification articles on the net? And, what if I can't find a Slocket made by reputed companies,...
