I bought an old comp for 40 bucks lately and I thought I'd upgrade it to something more acceptable ^^; According to the compatibility table I downloaded off FEC's website, it supports Pentium MMX 233 cpus so I bought one. First thing I found strange is that the processor that was already there was a Pentium 133 but the bios said it's a 120. After the other processor is installed, I start my pc to realize it's still running at 120mhz. wtf?! I thought it may be clocked to run at 120mhz so I start playing with the bios. Does nothing. I check around the cpu for some jumpers to replace but it does nothing either. They don't even seems to be even slightly affecting it. I went to FEC's support center, read the FAQ, sent them emails, no answers...

goddamn I dont want it to run at 120mhz!

I found this on FIC's FTP site. Does it help?

meh i'd sure help if i knew where i must start counting for the jumper's numbers :-?

here's a representation of my board with the jumpers. gonna be easier that way



...and when i change the position of the jumpers on the CLK thingy.
when i change the jumper on VR1, nothing's working.

There's no "1" or an arrow or anything on the board? Wierd.

Maybe the VR1 is binary, so 8 is actually 1000. Perhaps it means to have the jumper only on the end.

Sorry, only guessing right now.

oh wait, i just changed CLKx to set it to 133mhz and by changing FREQ1, it now runs at 233mhz! :-D I won't ask as long as it works!

Thanks a lot, crystal! 8-)

Not a problem.

err dont stop searching it stopped working. well... it did but then i changed freq1 and put it back and it continued working and well its ****ed up :-?

What's it's current status? Is it actually working?

atm its working but who knows tomorrow it may not... like it did this afternoon
