I've been sent a report on a couple of 500Mhz Katmai's that a large US retailer
(who I will call Satan) has acquirred. Some interesting stuff (pics soon!)
-It's an SECC2 cartidge with the new H-PPGA(OGLA) CPU package. It's a tiny
little blue core about 3/8 of an inch square.
-The cache is SEC 4ns with the following markings...
SEC KOREA 840
KM736V604AMT-4
-There is a Chip on the BACK of the PCB that has the S-SPEC (which is NOT
listed on top like the 350MHz SECC2 carts I have) and has the following
markings:
S82459AD
8844PE79
SL2WF
INTEL (m) (c) '95
I honestly have no clue what this chip on the back is, maybe you can let me
know? :) I'm guessing it's the EEPROM that is rumored to be on the CPU's.
But on that same note, I have done a quick overclocking check on my ABIT BH6
with GY BIOS, and it is NOT bus speed locked, but it is multiplier locked. I
was able to boot up Win98 at 560MHz (112x5) with a 2.2 volt setting, and it was
stable for the 20 mins I had it up. Setting it at 100x5.5 resulted in just
500MHz. I have stepped it down to 103x5 at 2.0 volts (which the BIOS says is
522MHz? but ctcm16n says correctly 515) cause I have no clue how good this fan
is and don't want to fry this CPU the first day I got it :) The BIOS doesn't
say Katmai or KNI or anything of course, just PENTIUM-II MMX at 522MHz
Thanks Satan (you little devil!!) - I can't wait to get my hands on one :)
