Asus P2B-D

[robchow]

Thanks to those who suggested this motherboard for me. I just pick one up this weekend and I need a little help. I have two slot 1 600B/133Mhz CPU. Two 128MB PC100 memory should be here later today from Crucial (Should I have gotten PC133?). I need to overclock the motherboard FSB to 133Mhz. What are the settings for me to do that? If you don’t know the answer, can you point me to a resource?

Thanks

you can download the manual at http://www.asus.com.tw/products/motherboard/manual_slot1.html
and bios update here

and yes the 133 would have been the best choice for 133fsb but crucial memory is good stuff so you will probably get lucky and it will run anyway

Make sure you set the ram timings to 3 and not 2 in the bios. This will help you PC100 ram operate at 133mhz.

Thanks all for your help. I just found out that I can not overclock this mobo because I have two slot 1 600B/133Mhz (katami) CPUs. Apparently, this CPU has a fix multiplier of 4.5x.

I guess I need to purchase the Tyan Tiger 133 (I need at least one ISA). I hope it does not give me too much trouble. Do you have any other mobo suggestions?

Thanks
