Can you post the number that is on the clock generator at the left side of the AGP slot ? EDIT Your clock generator is likely a Cypress W48S111-14 and if that is the case then the PCI is running at 44.4 MHz with CPU @ 133MHz. This may explain some of the symptoms in your report. See page 6 in the …

Some ideas here.. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=82117 Ah right, 1.1 celly coppermine, 100mhz stock, still a bit near the raggedy edge for what coppermine can clock to though, so don't expect to see much out of it. Yeah, the celeron crashing out at 133MHz is what I'd expect :) that is …

I see, sorry I only keep 5 or 6 things in my head at once reading through everything. Now the celeron, 1Ghz versions that ran on 1.7v were usually 66Mhz bus CPU, and those didn't clock more than one or two speed grades. Then the Katmai overclocked should be using more power than the 933 at stock …

So, tried different graphics cards? 112 is getting the PCI up over 37mhz and the AGP over 74, something might not be liking this, and thus you don't get to 133. I hadnt - largely because the graphics seemed stable and with the P450 socket 1 CPU running at 133, there were no issues I should add that …

BX boards will usually allow you to push up the FSB speed beyond 100MHz either through bios or jumpers (depending on motherboard) and/or through softfsb.exe - Can usually clock up 103, 112 and 133MHz - you overclock the AGP bus as you do so, as ever, how close to 133MHz you will manage will vary ( …

For a lot of these earlier 440BX boards, the proper answer is "check the VRM controller chip". Of course, BIOS might need updating or modding to add the required microcode, but the main deal is checking if the voltage regulator is able to properly read the VID pins from the CPU slot and output the …
