Re: Put a Pentium MMX 233mhz CPU in my DOS machine, still reads as Pentium-S 120mhz. What am I missing?

If I fill both 13 and 14, I also get 166.

Which of the jumpers is my FSB? Jumper 10 is AT Bus Clock Selector, but whatever I set it to, it makes no difference. I have 11 filled, 12 empty. 13 and 14 empty for a 1.5 multiplier, and I get 133mhz. If I set it to 3x multiplier, I get 166mhz. Again, jumper 10 doesn't seem to change anything …

What? No, I'm stupid, of course. According to what I can decipher from THIS http://th2chips.freeservers.com/m507/jumper/index.html My PC doesn't actually support MMX or 233mhz. I did move enough jumpers around that I got it up to 166mhz, though, I should be able to go to 200. I'll keep playing with …

You're a goddamn wizard. That did it, after changing 7 to 5 in DOS. I love you and will bear your children, though I am not in fact capable of doing so. I'm not sure I can fully express how happy you just made me. This game is so stupid and who cares, except I've been trying to have it for seriously …

There is no sound once I shut off the Disney. And I just tried using that blaster.drv in actual DOS. What happens is it STARTS to talk (Generally the game starts by saying "Zug the Megasaurus presents") but only gets as far as "ZUH" and then locks up. I can still CTRL+ALT+DEL though. EDIT: Also …

I would recommend an Abit motherboard because they come with the 4 pin power connector and you can use the PSU that you already have - specifically Abit KV7 with VIA KT600 chipset. It supports all socket 462 CPUs and every 1.5V AGP video card ever made up to geforce 7800gs! It also fully supports …

Sadly, I can't find an Asus A7V600-X motherboard for less than 80-100 dollars, and that's a lot more than I want to put into this particular build, especially since I may also need a new power supply. Not sure if the RAM I have is compatible either, I'd have to check. EDIT: Would either of these be …

I will parse all this information in my head for a bit. Thank you very much for all your help, it is very much appreciated. I'm obviously still learning about old hardware all the time, but that's half the fun! Thanks again.
