hi,

firstly thanks to all who replied.

Latest !!

downloaded MATHLON / Installed / Configured etc,

settings:

700@1/2 = 350 OK ( although 350 is a little dodgy eh !! )
700@2/5 = 280 ( No Probs temp= <> 35c )
750@2/5 = 300 ( same as above )
800@2/5 = 320 ( System hangs after checking RAM )
850@2/5 = 340 ( as above )

however !

800@1/3 = 266 ( system still hangs after memory check 1,75v )
850@1/3 = 283 ( as above )
900@1/3 = 300 ( as above )

since 550@1/2= 275 or 1000 / 3,6 = 278

why is it that my sys cant do the 800MHz thing as the L2 cache setting is pretty close to the original value. Or is it that on boot-up before it can read the disk the setting is

800@1/2 = 400 ( no go )

but i presumed that the Mathlon software set the L2 cache rate at 1/3 untill i used Mathlon to re-set it to another value.

otherwise at boot up 750@1/2 = 375 untill the fd boots in and gives 750@2/5 = 300 , which to me should also make 750MHz hang the sys .

really confused and awaiting further instructsions ( you guys are great ) come on guys I really want to break the 800 barrier, as i said iŽd settle for 850MHz. ( based on the cost of a new K7 800 MHz slot A CPU )

Have also a q regarding the Mathlon disk , i am running Win ME and would prefer to boot up without the disk, as its a pain if i forget to leave the disk in, etc.

ol Barolos.

PS: CPU date is 51/99 and is 0.25
