Attempting to overclock a Piii 600 mhz on Soyo 6BA+iii motherboard with a single 256 meg pc133 ram stick.

Others have reported (in these forums) getting this chip up into the 800's with the same mobo.

However, I can only push the fsb to 112 or so. Anything higher such as fsb 115 and I get this error.

Help appreciated.

Make sure the pci divider is at 1/4 and the agp divider is set to 150%.
Where are you getting this error from, windows?

-----------------------------------

- AGP frequency set at "divided by 1.5%"
- Could not find any PCI divider or something sounding like it.
- Not getting to windows. Right after bios loading and cofiguration display, this machine normally loads the scsi card data, senses devices on the scsi card, displays devices, then proceeds to load windows. It gets to the first item which states the scsi card was found at i/o address xxxx, but then that is where it bombs out - before sensing the devices on the scsi card.

You are right there is no setting for 1/4 pci on that board it just tells you the pci bus speed when you select the fsb speed.
Sounds like your scsi card dosent like overclocking :(

If that's what you think it is, I'll yank the scsi card in a second. It only drives an old Yamaha 2x burner anyway.

Do some scsi cards have problems w/ overclocking? If so, what brand tolerates overclocking? This one is an Advansys Ultra

When you overclock try to keep the pci bus as close to 33mhz as you can.
Sometimes its better to set the fsb higher if the board will set the the pci bus closer to 33mhz.
Pull it out the scsi and see if the pc will work right without it. Cant hurt anything.
Sorry I have no idea what a good scsi card for overclocking would be.
