You were exactly right. That was the prob. Nice one. Ok, results: 4 x 100 = 7m 20s <- Just for reference. 6 x 100 = 5m 49s 5 x 112 = 5m 53s 5.5 x 112 = 5m 28s 5.5 x 112 = 5m 16s <- Fastest RAM timings. Not bad I think for a K6-2+. Just experimenting now with programs to change the FSB in windows. On...

Ok I still can't get this board/CPU to bench. The processor used to work fine. The voltage is 2.0V, and it's underclocked to 400MHz. It's a totally fresh Win 98 install, and I've swapped the RAM. Oh, I've got the latest BIOS too. I just don't understand why Super Pi won't go for more than 20 seconds...

Hmmm, I thought I was being silly and doing exactly what you said. But it seems I'm not. According to the manual it appears that: sw1 sw2 sw3 sw4 sw5 0.1V 0.2V 0.4V 0.8V off With a base voltage of 2.0V. So for Eg. 2.5V means that sw1 and sw3 would be on. I don't know what sw5 does. It's off for ever...

Hello man. Actually my board is a ATX. I got a bit frustrated with AT to be fair. And my lack of spares started to become a problem, so I switched to ATX. Although the system is set up on the floor at the mo! I'll 'liberate' a case from work. I'm very happy with it so far, apart that it seems to und...

My New Setup
Hello there peeps. I must admit I haven't been terribly active of late. :oops: But anyways, I now live with my GF, and now I'm King of the Manor, so I can use all my old PC's again. Yay. The previous setup included a P5A-B - which I loved, but it has become so flakey and the FDD refuses to work now....

Ah sorted!
Found IBMs overlay software. Here
Started her up set the disk to the full capacity. Then it said Nope.
Quite rightly the BIOS doesn't like over 128Gbs, so I set it to that and off we go.
Brilliant, I can start playing now.

My P5A-B only sees 8Gbs
Afternoon guys. Now, I haven't been on here for a while. :? Truth is that I simply didn't have enough space in my old place to run the SS7 system. But now I've moved into a place with my GF. Yay! So I've dusted off the old girl to get her running again. :D The (latest) trouble I've got is that I've ...

Second hand laptops are a totally overpriced. Rediculously so. Plus you'd have to budget in for a new battery. (if you intend to move it around) You could get a new cheapie Sempron (or whatever they're calling 'em), but they are noisey and run hot, no matter what sort of clever power saving stuff th...
