I recently built my own Dual Xeon (SuperMicro p4dce+, 2x2.2 Xeons, 2GIGs PC800 RDRAM).
I am a newbie to building and BIOS so pardon my lingo or lack thereof;
In the BIOS, the CPU Clock Multiplier is defaulted to 8 (it goes from 8 to 23). My understanding of P4s was that you multiplied by 400, so you would actually need a multiplier of 5.5. But seeing as this starts at 8, maybe SuperMicro does things differerntly? Anyway, a little leery of popping up to 22 since I don't want to accidentally burn out two $750 CPUs.
Also, I did benchmakrs on the ram, my PC800 scored far less than the default PC800 ram in integer scores.
Any BIOS assistance appreciated!
Thanks!
