Yes it is. I wonder whether to buy an inverter or a screen. Do you have any suggestion? Thanks

HI guys, I did the 100FSB upgrade on my 390E---> success
But I wasn't able to get my 2 256MB chips to run in a total of 512MB, thare was a strange message when I hook one of them with a 64mb memory, the total is 320mn when booting, but as windows tries to load I get the message " c:/windows/system32/driver/pci.sys not found"!
When I put both the 256mb they are again a total of 256 only and the message of the pci.sys doesn't show! what is going on here?
I made the modification on the speed step my IBM 390E with p-III 650Mhz, but I didn't get any change in speed!
I tried to run deepsleep too, and it made the computer freeze (Ihave windows XP)
I will attach pics of the processor, as you see there is a slight difference in the processor card, I believe I made the right contact.
I also have another question, is it possible ot achieve the 8% increase in FSB in a 390E?
Please give me some logical answers!

Yes I did cut the link to the pin #4
What should I do next?
And what about the message I am getting when I use the 320MB memory?
Any explanation for what is going on?
=)

Ok everybody, I created a startup disk, and I tried the deepsleep in dos mode from a floppy, the previous speed was 498MHz, the new speed "in dos during running depsleep" is 607MHz, but when I try to press alt-ctrl-delete to restart the command doesn't work, and when I unplug the power the speed remains 498Mhz
I think I am going to try Deepsleep in safe mode XP and see how it goes!
p.s hardware modifications were made 100% correct on the cpu.

Trying the deepsleep in safe mode prevented the freezing, but...
The problem was that when runing the program it gave me a message saying it cannot find the fils piix.sys
I looked for the file piix.sys in windows/system32/drivers, as strange as it sounds I found it there, I copied it manually tot he destination to make sure, and I also dropped the same file in the directories system32 and windows
Same problem... I copied deepsleep.exe tot he directory itself and the problem remained!
What is exactly going on? could it e that safe mode disables the use of sys files?
I repeat, running deepsleep in my xp freezes the system, in dos it runs but the change doesn't happen on restart.
Any suggestion?

Ok I took a picture of what happens when running dsleep.exe in debug mode

I didn't find any debug file so I thought hte pic would help a bit!
When I restart nothing changes! cpu is back to 500MHz

I have done that for almost 6 times, everytime I restart the cpu is back to same old speed about 498MHz
What I am thinking is tat maybe the windows version can work if its problem was fixed (the problem of not being able to see the file piix4.sys in windows/system32/drivers)

I did... each time it gives different values between 592MHz and 608MHZ
I am really confused here...
Did you check the pic I posted? that's what happens when I use the command: dsleep.exe/d
(If it doesn't show in the page then click view image)
Thanx for the reply sharedoc, I need some help here...
