I'm having problems setting the divider and memory speed with my st6. I've searched and read past threads which suggest solutions which didn't work. BIOS is 8A. CPU is Celeron 1.2
Concerning divider:
1. If I set 4:4:1 divider below 133 fsb, the computer either will not post at all (blank screen) and the on-board speaker will make high-low sounds (like an ambulance). It will only post with 3:3:1 divider.
The past posts about setting 4:4:1 at 133fsb and then rebooting and setting lower fsb did not work on my board. The past posts about setting 4:4:1 at 100 fsb and then rebooting and setting lower fsb did not work on my board.
How did you folks get the 4:4:1 divider to work at less than 133 fsb?
2. If the divider is 3:3:1 is that what it is actually running? Why I question that:
Sandra indicates a 3.5x multiplier (which I assume is the divider). (Sandra also indicates a front side bus of "1 x 430 mhz (430 mhz data rate" - which I don't understand. I have fsb set at 125).
If the divider is 3 then my pci is running at 41 and agp is running at 82. If 3.5 then pci is 35 and agp is 70. Since I get "windows.exe" errors occuring over 126 fsb (and more errors as fsb increases) I think its at 3 (and not 3.5).
Concerning memory speed setting:
1. BIOS indicates "automatic" and does not allow me to change it to either 100 or 133 (I have pc133). How can I set it to 133?
I read past threads and tried setting CPU speed as 12 x 100 (rather than user defined). However, it only allowed me to have 100 speed ram. Setting CPU to 12 x 133 allowed me to choose 100 or 133 ram. However, would not post with 12 x 133 getting "cmos error" message.
2. With automatic setting, is memory speed the user defined fsb (in my case 125) or is it selecting 133 speed automatically and adding 25 (158 ultimate speed). I suspect the first (125) which is why I am trying to set it to 133.
Thanks for the help.
