Mod Dell BIOS to increase default voltage
Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2005 3:47 pm
Hi,
I have a 1.8GHz (400MHz FSB) Pentium M (Dothan) that I'd like to run at 2.4GHz (533MHz FSB) using the pin-out trick. When installed, I can access the BIOS settings indefinitely, but when Windows starts up, it crashes. I'm close but not quite there. I strongly suspect that with a little more voltage, the processor would be stable.
I have a Dell 9300. Unfortunately, the BIOS does not provide voltage tweaking capabilities.
Thus I'd like to be able to modify the BIOS table entry for the 1.8GHz 400MHz Pentium M and slightly increase the default voltage. Does anyone know how to accomplish this feat? Or can you direct me to a set of utilities that would allow me to make this change?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
