ASUS P3B-F ?

[Guest]

I have a P3B-F and I recently bought a P3 600EB CPU. I didn't know it was a FSB 133 at the time. I installed it and I set the jumpers to what ASUS said but it was for a FSB 100. My computer is running fine but when it boots up I notice that I only have a P3 450Mhz or it is runnning at that speed. Does any one know if I can set the jumpers so it is running at a bus speed of 133 and will it work?? I havent tried it yet! I see if I put jumpers 678910 to off the bus speed will be 133 But will the motherboard run at that? And I have one dimm 64Mb.PC 100 and one 64Mb.PC 133 I am afraid that will pose a problem.

the motherboard will rune fine at this speed.BUT your 100 memory may not,also the agp bus will run at 89mhz so you will need a good video card or a pci video card. the pci will run at 33mhz or at spec so no problem there.

p3bf has 440bx chipset, and it doesnt support 133 Mhz FSB.
you are simply stuck with a 600 MHz processor running at 450! better go for a other 133 MHz FSB capable board like the Asus CUSL2 (can also support FSBs in excess of 133, good for overclocking)

bottom line: buy a new board!
