Good to hear. It's so quiet at amdzone and here now compared to the past that it's difficult to know how many people are out there trying to upgrade their old socket7s. <p></p><i></i>

DFI K6bv3+66 mb

Post by willyneu »

I have a k6+475 cpu installed in the above mb. I have been accumulations the parts to replace my M598 w/a cyrix 333.<br>I keep seeing the list of mb utilities. I have not been able to determine if I need to install any of these utilities.<br><br>I finally got a new 40gb hard drive for this new mb & cpu. When reinstalling software the system does not reboot. It sometimes gives me a double beep & I need to turn off the power & turn the system back on.<br><br>Any thoughts? Thanks, Bill Neurauter <p></p><i></i>

I'm not really sure.<br><br>I have been told that the MB utilities also can tell you whether or not the features such as Write Allocation, are set to take the most advantage of the + processors.<br><br>Maybe someone can offer a bit more guidance? <p></p><i></i>

Not sure about the problem rebooting. <br><br>Your motherboard should have most of the settings enabled for that CPU. However, I think you should download the 4-way memory interleave enabler from George's Creations link in the Links section (different George<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>It will improve memory performance on your motherboard. <p> Epox MVP3G5, K6-3+450@618, 256MB SDRAM, CL GF2 GTS, IBM 60GXP 20GB, Fortissimo II Sound<BR><br>ASUS TX97-XE, K6-3+450@500, 256MB SDRAM, Voodoo4 4500 PCI, WD 40GB, SB AWE64 Sound <BR><br>ASUS A7N8X Dlx, Athlon XP 2400+, 512 Crucial DDR, Radeon 8500, WD 80GB SE, onboard sound/LAN</p><i></i>
