Hi,
Here's my rig:
AMD Duron "Morgan" 1GHz @ 1133 (8.5x133) (1.8 Volts)
Soyo K7-ADA Bios 2BA5
Generic 256MB DDR PC-2100 2.5/3/3
Dual Heat Pipe Heat Sink w/ AMD OEM fan for silence
350W Power Supply
I can boot only these settings:
1133 (8.5x133)
1050 (10.5x100)
1000 (10x100)
850 (8.5x100)
I tried and only got the black screen and then had to clear the CMOS on these:
1200 (12x100)
1200 (9x133)
1300 (13x100)
1100 (11x100)
I am confident though from the temps, die size and having gotten it to 1190 with 140FSb and 8.5 (though unstable) that 1200 by 9x133 is possible. I also saw on Tom's Hardware that this family covered 900-1300 Mhz.
I have been reading about the KT133 problem and how the only way around it is to physically change the defualt multiplier on the CPU. SO I'm all "Cool. I'll do that now." I figure since I'm stable at 8.5 that will be my new default multiplier. I look at a chart and see that my L6 should be:
. | :::
and, without breaking the contact, I can choose the 8x multipler which is:
.|:|:
But I pulled the CPU and here's the listings of my Bridges:
L1 ||||| (Pencil trick)
L3 |::|.
L4 ||::.
L10 :|.
L5 .|::|
L11 ||:||
L7 |||||
L8 .|||||
L6? .|||||
Shouldn't my L6 be .|:::? And why is there an extra bridge. My CPU is the Morgan and identified with CPU-Z and WCPUID. It also looks like the picture here:

Now, I've read about the "Electrical Bridge Blowing" technique but with all the info and these two sites:
http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20000711/amd-04.html
http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1440&p=8
I am confused!
What am I missing? First, from what I've read my bridges are wrong. My L6 should have only one closed. Second, MY L3 is correct but shouldn't my L4 be |:|:. ? Argh!!!!
Please help. I wanna squeeze some more performance out of the computer. And please forgive any inchoerent parts. I am not sure what to do and I feel like I am missing a part of the puzzle.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Adrian
