I just bought a KK266 and put my duron 700 on it. It boots up fine at 700mhz, but at any other multiplier setting it tries to boot at the 8.5 multiplier. I wanted to try to run at 6.5x150, but no way I can even boot at the 133 jumper setting because the mobo sees 6.5 as 8.5. I'm doing good at 7x139..973mhz, but I have redone the pencil markings and even flashed the newest Iwill bios..no change. I saw a guy with the same problems today and I'm wondering if I have a bad mobo or something. ..Does anyone know what the problem is? Please help, I don't have another cpu to test in it, but I don't want to buy a high end Tbird later and find I'm multiplier locked because of my mobo. Here's the other guys post from extreme computing..

Greetings, all. I bought a Duron 600MHz a few months ago, but never got a motherboard to mount it on. Last week I ordered an IWill KK266 and got it in today. I closed the L1 bridged on the Duron, assembled motherboard, CPU, memory, and Video card, and booted up. Everything ran fine at 600MHz. So, I started playing around with the multiplier settings in the BIOS. This is when I discovered a problem with my setup. When set at default, the Duron runs at 600MHz. at ANYTHING other that default, the CPU runs at 850MHz. This is with 100MHz bus setting. At 133MHz bus, the Duron will run fine at 800MHz (default 6x multiplier with 133MHz bus), but will not post at the only other setting I can get, 8.5x133MHz.
Naturally, I assumed that my closing of the L1 bridges wasn't good enough. So, I pulled the CPU out, cleaned it, and did the closing again. STILL only 600MHz or 850MHz and nothing else. I have closed the bridges 10 or more times, using both a pencil and a conductive pen, and I get the exact same results every time.
Anyone have any idea what my problem is? The Duron runs fine at 850MHz (8.5x100MHz) and at 800MHz (6x133MHz). PLEASE, someone give me some advice.>>
