msi 694d pro2-r with dual 1ghz

[IDOLAN1]

does anyone know how fast i can get this board i have the msi 694d pro2r with dual p3 1ghz. the clock multiplier only goes to 8x but the fsb goes to 200. if anyone knows the settings i need for around 1200mhz it would be helpful. i am going with the ati radeon (ve?) with dual monitor support and 512 mb of pc 150 ram

thanks for the help in advance...mark

The multiplier should be 12x with the lastest bios update.

Either way you should get the Dual P3 1000EB chip.

Overclocking won't be that successful with dual boards but its worth a try you'll probably hit 150fsb as my guess.

Dual is for power not a concern for speed so don't think that speed matters over FSB when E vsing EB.

If your planning to game the Radeon VE is a slow horrible card, it has dual monitor support, yes sound cool but you forget it has to process it on two monitors so it will be slow on that.

If your going to be on the desktop always then its a good card Ig guess.

you cannot change the multiplier on intel cpus....try raising the fsb....

the multiplier with the new bios and the fsb at 133+ the multiplier limit is 8x , also I wanted to find out a stable setting around 1150-1200 with correct settings thinking of .....150fsb , with 8x , and 512mb of pc150ram. If that board is not the best what do you suggest for a 64mb card ...

and in the bios it allowed me to set the multiplier at 8x and the system runs just not much faster

thanks,

Well the EB has a 7.5 multiplier with a 133fsb so your in luck.

My recommendation is a Abit VP6 w/ two P3 1000EB Chips.
Your PC150 ram.
Your video card depends on what you do with it, but I guess your an art person or something?

Changing the multiplier in the board will not help since they are locked completely your multiplier stays how it is.

1100 is about tops for a duel setup, your chipset is the weak link and its hard to get any of the duels to 1200\160FSB as of yet i have not heard of it being done allthough some lucky person i'm sure has done it.

getting a huge HSF for your northbridge would be a good start not anly that good case cooling would be a must as well as good copper HSF's for your CPU's. now at 160FSB to get to 1200 you will have to make sure all of the hardware you will use will be able to handle these FSB speeds, if your lucky a top brand of pc 150 might do cas2 at 160 but cas3 will be more likely with luck! but you may need to run memory at minus clock speed if it doesnt do cas2 or 3 stable which will cut into bandwidth [if you have to run this way]. But youve got to get to 160 and for that i wish you luck.

Oh and if i'm rite the E's run at 100 FSB [default] so you will only need a good brand of pc133 which if you could get that high would put you around 1300 [if you were so lucky] [if you decided to go with the EB's] again the MB chipset is your weaklink and maybe the lower FSB settings of the E would be more friendly towards the chipset. I have not heard about how the EB's have done in a duel setup so you very well may have more luck there but if not your memory bandwidth would be better at 150FSB with top quality pc150 memory and the cco or EB stepping.

e=100fsb
eb-133fsb

Thanks for the correction i will edit my post

I always used the cco cdo for that, i guess i need to get a new CPU to keep up on these things :)

If hes using the MSI Motherboard there's no possible way to go with the E because its multiplier is 10 and his board only supports 8. EB would be the best option for him because for a dual I believe FSB is more important than the looks of speed.

160MHz for 1.2GHz is doable on a VP6. My cD0s and cC0s both do that on mine. Only problem is that it will only run stable if I don't have a RAID array at the same time. Clocked it down to 150MHz for 1.13GHz and runs like a charm.

My ECS dually does 150MHz for 1.13GHz as well.

Chips shouldn't be a problem, just make sure the rest of the components can do it and you should be fine.
