I suggested my friend to get one of these 2.4C "MO" stepping CPU's, he installed it today and was only getting a stable 262 FSB. Needless to say, he was pretty upset considering he ordered from AZZO and paid the extra few bucks.
After fiddling with a bunch of settings, it was discovered that disabling "CPU Spread Spectrum" got him up to a stable 290 FSB MHz.
Meanwhile I'm running 280 FSB with "Spread Spectrum" Enabled on my 2.4C "MO" just fine, but when I disable it I get no Post.
He has the P4C800-E, and I have the P4C800.
Go figure,,
Anyone have a logical explanation for this?
(I have Corsair PC-3500 v1.1, 5:4, he is using Corsair PC-4000, 5:4)
