Hey guys after i got my p3 500 and it only ran on 330Mhz cause the FSB is hardwired on MY TP i bought a celeron 433 on ebay. So everyone knows the celerons only have 128K L2 Cache and my P2 300 which was originally installed had 512K L2 Cache. So if i change the address 20 in hex editor to anything ...

just found out something new

if i edit byte 20 from 00 --> 08 and byte 2b from 80 --> 81 the nb boots without any problems. If i run the Memory test in Easy Setup it breaks up with error

I just bought a P111 500Mhz MMC2 CPU on ebay for round about 20€ and 8€ shipping. The mod for turning on/off the onboard 32 memo...
