What will you use the ASM code for?

Found the information, I have my MMC-2 750 running at a Vcore of 1.48V. I did this by removing resistors R3 and R14. This .12V drop is totally stable so far but a .2V drop is not at all stable and causes a blue screen in windows every boot.

Shaving this .12V off Vcore reduces the operating temp ALOT.

Has anyone had experience with lowering the vcore of the PIII 750Mhz MMC-2 to 1.35v? I have been reading through the thread but the only information I can find is for the older design MMC-2 PIII.

Sharedoc, I don't have any datasheets but I am 100% positive that it has the bus

The max you can use is two low density pieces in the two expansion slots and one 128MB in the hidden "system" slot. Or at least that is the plug and play way of doing it, I don't know of any BIOS hacks by using the inbuilt hex editor to make 3 256Mb work. I'm sure you have the latest 770Z BIOS insta...

*POST EDIT* I tried using a program called Powertweak to enable the AGP bus, it has options to enable AGP, enable AGP sidebanding, and setting datarate to 1x or 2x. Problem is that after the program claims to have enabled the features checking with h-oda's CPUID it shows that AGP is still disabled. ...

That is exactly what my CPUID gives me too. I also tried Powerstrip and it gives the same result. I tried powerstrip because I thought that it might be possible to enable the 1X (only speed that the 256AV is capable of) transfer speed which would do wonders for DVD playback. Any thoughts on how we c...

I have tried lots of drivers hoping that I could figure out the best one to use and let everyone know about them but they all really seem the same to me. I have used all known versions of the 256AV, used the 256AV+, 256ZX, and the one that windows is currently using as I type this is the japanese so...

I recently found a program that can enable and set the transfer rate of Intel 440BX and ZX chipsets as well as modify other parameters.

It is called AGP_info..there is a problem though when I try to run it I ge the error "Eprivilege".
Anyone have experience with this

I know what your saying about the clock generator. I used sharedoc's method for overclocking the CPUCLK FSB. What I'm not sure of though is if the AGPCLK is controlled by the same IMI chip.

Sharedoc if your reading this do you have any experience with how the AGP clock is setup on the 600E?

When you say that do you mean the factory spec FSB of 66Mhz? The problem is that I replaced the PII 66Mhz FSB 400Mhz clock speed processor with a PIII 750Mhz processor that uses a FSB of 100Mhz Once the 440BX AGPset Intel chipset detects the PIII processor it sets itself to 100Mhz which is a good th...

looks like the reason is that the AGP bus is running at 108Mhz instead of 66Mhz like spec should be. From what I read the AGP bus needs to be at around 66Mhz to operate correctly. So that means that AGPCLK needs a 2/3 ratio. No one really seems interested in this...does eveyone elses AGP work the wa...

tried to use powerstrip to enable 2x AGP data rate transfer but It is unsuccessful. Anyone know how to get the AGP working?

Anyone how is having heat related stability (from the overclocking mod) issues should start using CPU eat n' cool. Its a great little program and also extends battery life quite signifigantly. I gained about an extra half hour of usage from setting the timeout to 30ms and the processor runs cool as ...

no you need to get a 600E or 600X bottom half and Inverter on Ebay if you want to use a PIII.
