OK, here's the rundown. I'm getting an old Pentium 90 MHz system running. One of my friends, however, gave me some stuff he doesn't need anymore - some RAM and two processors, a Pentium 200 MMX and a K62-400. The problem is, the motherboard does not have any defined bus/multiplier settings - rather, the manual just shows what jumpers to use for what speeds. Here: Clock Speed | J13 | J14 | J15 | J16 | JP28 ----------------------------------------------------- 75 MHz | Open | Open | Closed | 1-2 | Open ----------------------------------------------------- 90 MHz | Closed | Open | Open | 1-2 | Open ----------------------------------------------------- 100 MHz | Open | Closed | Open | 2-3 | Open ----------------------------------------------------- 120 MHz | Closed | Open | Open | 1-2 | Closed ----------------------------------------------------- 133 MHz | Open | Closed | Open | 1-2 | Closed ------------------------------------------------------ So how do I make this work with either processor? -- Kirk Lane ICQ: 28171652 BRT #187 "Yeah you won't find me I'm going MIA Tonight I'm leaving Going MIA Getting lost in you again Is better than being known" -Foo Fighters, "MIA"

Dang...90 it is until I can get the cash for a real Socket7....or if I could find some way to jack the multipliers up on the 66 bus...or would either the P200 or the K62-400 underclock to 133 at a standard 133 voltage??? (What the heck IS the voltage for standard pre-MMX Pentiums, anyway????) The weird thing is that from what I can tell, 90 is 1.5x60, 100 is 1.5x66, 120 is 2x60 and 133 is 2x66...I can't make heads or tails which jumpers control multipliers and bus speeds now!!!! -- Kirk Lane ICQ: 28171652 BRT #187 "Yeah you won't find me I'm going MIA Tonight I'm leaving Going MIA Getting lost in you again Is better than being known" -Foo Fighters, "MIA" > On Fri, 18 Feb 2000 14:40:05 -0800, "Tom Stanger" > >It appears that your board only supports cpu's up to 133mhz and it's also > >unlikely > >that it supports the proper voltage for an MMX or K6 processor. > >You need a new board, sorry. > Indeed, those settings are for the CPU speed, not fsb.

(What the heck IS the voltage for standard pre-MMX Pentiums, anyway????) 3.3v core and outer. MMX are 2.8v core and 3.3v outer. I run a 233MMX at 300MHz in my server at 3.2v inner/3.3v outer and it loves it.

From the table you wrote, I would say that jp28 is the multiplier, the other four control the bus speed. Especially since the first four jumpers are the same for 90 and 120 mhz (60 mhz fsb). Rafe Mc
