Very Confused?!?
OK here goes I am doing an Upgrade to my computer. I recently ended a 7 year career as a Mercedes Benz technician to do the A+ and MCSE. I haven't kept up on the new Pentium socket 370. Here is what I have....
Abit BX6 rev.2
2-256MB PC 133
I have been reading a lot of the posts here, great info.. But I am confused about the P III socket 370 "flip chip". I have read that the Slotket adapter works on the mobo. I have also read about people reccomending the Abit or Iwill 370 adapter for slot 1 motherboards. But what is the difference between the PIII 700e and the PIII 700eb? From what I have read the PIII 700e supports a 100Mhz FSB. Is this the one I will use to reach 933Mhz? Or do I have to use a PIII 700 that has a 133Mhz FSB? or is there even a PIII 700 that supports 133? From what I have seen it only supports 100Mhz. I am guessing that all I need to do is get the QZ BIOS update for the Board to recognize the 700 and be able to change the voltage to support over clocking the processor. I am also guessing that its only the Softmenu changes I make in BIOS for "User Defined" for processor that will change the FSB to 133Mhz. Please feel FREE to correct me as this is a very NEW subject to me. Also what exactly is "Burn in" ? I guess its like breaking a new engine? How long should I break in the new chip before over clocking it?If I am forgetting ANYTHING let me know!
Thanks!!
