BIOS Updates forum

Thanks Denniss!
I got a pair of Kingston PC3200 DDR400 512MB modules running in
dual-channel perfectly, though at 333MHz speed. Blame it on Celeron!

Now I have another problem. My PC is running really very hot these days.
Motherboard hardware monitor reports 50-51C at startup, with System
Zone 1 at ...

Hi there!

My current system config:-
-------------------------------
Intel Original D865GBF board
Intel Celeron D 320 [2.4GHz] - 533MHz FSB
Unknown Taiwanese brand PC-2100 256MB DDR-266 [1st of 4 slots]

Desired upgradation options:-
----------------------------------
1. 512MB DDR-333/400 (1*512 OR ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
