okay, so just gotten my tax refund and all, i went and brought home a 1800xp tbred-a, i needed something beefier than my duron(for divx encoding from tv, i needed just a bit more of beef.)
i got a pesky soltek 75kav, 512mb sdram+ bunch of cards(tv-in, mpeg2 decoder, soundcard, 2 nics.. ). i was unwilling to move to ddr mem, as it would have been an extra 250$ easily. i might do it later though.
so i get home and check the codes and conclude that it's a tbred-a(i didn't really care if it was a or b, since the other option would have been buying palomino..which would have been 3€ cheaper.)
so i just stick it in without doing any changes on my mobo settings, thinking it will post at 1533mhz. well, it posted at 8.5*133mhz instead, the setting i had on for my duron(stock 1ghz morgan).
so i start experimenting.. and figure out that all multipliers up to 12.5x(not tried higher yet or have no idea if it will work, will test soon) work without ANY tinkering with the cpu, so whats up, are they all like this?my mobo won't go over 141mhz fsb so i'm running it at 141*12.5 now..
anyways, i'm off to try something else now.. as i just noticed something <grin>
edit:
so. how do i get 13x/14x multipliers working, or is it even possible?
(now i get 5x when i set it to 14x).. time for some googling i guess..
