I have my Celeron II 700 running @ 956 @ 2.05v and it is perfectly stable. Ran seti@home for 5 hours, and never froze so i am messing around now. I used to get an average of 106fps in quake3arena with my Celeron II 700 @ 877 on my P3V4X. Dma had to be turned off. But now i have my Celeron II 700 on a ABIT BF6. The P3V4X has AGP 4x. The BF6 has 2x. I now get 83fps on my bf6. What is up? I am @ 75mhz more, not to mention the more fsb, which should give me more fps right? The only difference between the P3V4X and the BF6 is that the P3V4X is VIA so the memory can be set to 33mhz more than fsb. My memory was running @ 126mhz on my P3V4X, and the agp 4x. No my memory runs @ fsb speed, and it has agp 2x. Is agp 2x the problem? How can i tell? I am running Windows 2000.

Just for more info, I had kind of the same problem on my P3V4X. I didn't update my 4in1 drivers, and when i did i went to 106fps in a timedemo rather than 83fps.

Diffinately. AGP 2x is alot slower than 4x. 4x AGP is much better. Why did you switch? Im surprised the difference isn't more. AGP 4x is a whole lot faster, trust me.

Are you sure, i set my agp to 2x before i switched my mobo and i only got like 2 fps less! I don't think that is it! Any tweaks i can do for this bx133 mobo?
