Need a little more info...

OK, in Sandra, see the 'mainboard information' icon? Click on that one and see what manufacturer, model #, and serial # comes up and post that here.<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Should work OK. Setting the voltage to 2.2 won't hurt the chip (mine is at that now). <p>AMD K6III+ 550 @619 2.2v~ DFI K6BV3+/66 Rev B 2 MB~ Cardex GF2 MX 400 4ns GS 250/250~ 256 MB Micron PC133 CAS2~ Aureal SQ2500 (I will miss Aureal)~ Maxtor Diamond Max Plus 45 46.1gb ~ etc etc etc</p><i></i>

How do you raise the voltage to 2.2. Is that done on the mobo with the jumper settings? Can you do it through a program? I have no clue. But thank you for your input and help. <br><br>Paul <p></p><i></i>

Your voltage is already at 2.2; no need to change

The only thing you may need to change would be the multiplier, but 533 is a very good speed to work with should you not be able to find the jumper settings. <p></p><i></i>
