Any way to force an FSB change on Ali Aladin chipsets?

[Szech]

I'm building three computers right now, and they are all Celeron 566's on Amptron 754 motherboards (Ali Aladin TNT2 integrated chipset). Well, after testing everything to make sure all is well, I switched the jumpers to up the FSB to 100. I turned on the computer, expecting to see that beautiful 850, but to my dismay, it said Celeron (TM) 566.

What's going on? Does it somehow read the intended FSB off the processor? This sucks, because peak temps never go over 36 on one and 38 on another, so I know they could do 850 easily.

do you have a jumper for seting the fsb to "high"?
Some boards might have a thing in the bios to override what the jumpers say, and vise versa, I would suggest going to your mobo makers site, and find any and all pertenant info for your particular board, and see what you have to do to enable support for PIII cpu's, or to fool the mobo into thinking it is a PIII.
Good Luck

I checked Amptron's site, and there are no additional jumpers besides the two I changed. The BIOS is also painfully simplified, and there are no settings related to changing the FSB. Ironically, it supports changing the multiplier. I'm going to try flashing it to the latest BIOS release, but I'm somewhat pessemistic at this point.

What a waste of cB0's.

when you buy a new mobo the Jumper Free Mode - Jumpers is set to JumperFree if your mobo supports it .. so you have to check this too ..
