MSI-6905 jumper settings

[Ashyukun]

I've got a question that I probably should have asked a while ago.... I'm using a MSI-6905 slocket with my Celeron II 600, and I'm wondering whether J3, the single/dual processor jumper should be set to single processor or to Coppermine.... One would assume single, but I seem to remember someone saying before that it should be set to Coppermine. I've been running it set to Coppermine, but I'm wondering if some of my stability problems could be due to having it set as such and not just to single, since it says 'Coppermine 256K' on it, and the Celerons only have 128K L2. Thanks!

I believe that should be set to "Coppermine", but not 100% sure.

I have a similar jumper on my Soltek SL02A++, and set it to "Coppermine", if that helps.

Hopefully someone with an MSI will respond for you.

I have my MSI 6905 Master with Celeron II 600 set to "Coppermine" with no stability problems at all. This sloket rocks for me. Try a little bump in voltage and see if it helps stability.

OK, at least so far it sounds like I've got it right setting it to Coppermine. I've tried bumping up the voltage on both chips- the system-pull OEM cC0 600 wouldn't make it through 3DMark2000 without something coming up as corrupt even at 2.0V, and the brand new cC0 retail 600 will run 3DMark2000 at pretty much stock voltage, but just goes BOOM when i try and run UT- the last time I tried it, at 1.85V, I believe, Windoze98 had to fix the registry when I rebooted at a lower speed. I'll have to play around a bit more with the voltages and see what happens.

Is there any chance that the memory could be causing problems with this as well? I've got the memory speed set to Host+33, so when it's running at 100Mhz FSB, the memory is at 133. The memory is supposed to be PC133 CAS2, but I seem to remember at least one of the memory information things I've run saying that it wasn't. Would trying to run it at CAS2 at 133Mhz cause similar problems with critical faults in UT and registry corruption as the processor not being happy at the higher speed? Irrelevant, I'm probably going to need to do some burning in of this new chip anyways. I believe that you did yours at stock speed and around 1.95V, right Mr. B?

Thanks!

(I really should change my sig... :/)
