Hey All,
I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to overclocking this new stuff. I've got a Celeron 566 OC'ed to 850mhz on an ABIT BE6-II but let's be honest, this is ancient technology
I just bought an ABIT TH7-II, Northwood 1.6A boxed, and 2x256MB of double-sided Samsing PC800 memory. Now the fun begins.
The BIOS on the mobo is #38 which should recognize my 1.6A. What about these issues I hear about updating the BIOS with MrNatural's tweaked stuff? Is it necessary to do so to stop the cold boot issue even though I've got BIOS #38?
I've messed with SoftMenu plenty on the BE6-II and I expect the SoftMenu on the TH7-II to be comparable. Can you guys give me some initial pointers on what to change? I'll be installing the OS at 1.6GHz.
I'll be using an ATA66 HDD. Is there a selection in the BIOS for the 66 vs. 100?
Any info for this Northwood noob is much appreciated. Thanks!
