correcting: bios clock can only be 200MHz or 180MHz

If the BIOS can switch the clock from 200 MHz to 180 MHz, then I think it is adjusting the FSB from 33.3 MHz to 30 MHz, with the CPU multiplier remaining fixed at 6x.

hmm it could be... when I finally build my infrared cable, I'll transfer setmul into this netbook and check if the other option for slowing down the cpu by half is changing the cpu multiplier or not (or I could make some asm program for detecting the multiplier and the bus frequency, since there's …

The DOS program CHKCPU should be able to determine the correct FSB and multiplier on GXm chips. Be sure to download the latest version though, as I found some issues with Cyrix 5x86 and GXm chips which the author was able to correct.

Hello everyone, does any one know if the motherboard ga586hx version 1.56 support the k6-2 processor? think about going to 350 mhz.

Nope, not right out of the box. There are modded bioses available, but you also have to do some mods to the voltage regulator to get the right voltage.

Here is a link I found on someone who has done this already. Looks like a lot of hoops to jump thought. http://www.oocities.org/hackedmobo/ga586hx/index.html

I was afraid of that. I really don't want to mod it though. What is a good ss7 board to get? I only found a few on ebay.

I am partial to the Asus P5A and P5A-B depending if you want ATX or BabyAT. Other Good ones... Gigabyte GA-5AX (Especially REV 5.2) DFI K6XV3+/66AOpen AX59 Pro They are definatly getting harder to find.

+1 for the Asus P5A (I have the B model, which is AT). I have also used the IWill XA100 with some success but I noticed some performance issues compared to the Asus that I didn't get around to investigating further.

Can't forget the Gigabyte GA-5AA... basically the AT version of the GA-5AX.

FIC PA-2013 is the one I use. Very good board. Unless it's rev 2.1, you can't put in a high power demanding AGP card, like the Voodoo 3, though I just use PCI cards anyway.

I figured as people are saying board models and such, I should put in a good word for the Chaintech 5AGM2.

I figured as people are saying board models and such, I should put in a good word for the Chaintech 5AGM2. I never used a Chaintech Socket 7-ish board, but Chaintech's 6BTM Slot 1 BX boards I found to be really impressive somehow. We got a whole lot of these to build older rigs from (charity work) …

These 6BTM's were great to work with at work, but also back when I started actually using them. I really don't understand how hardly anyone knows about these? I'm not a Slot 1 expert, but I don't really see how these are worse than ASUS P2B? >> >> They even look the same, and ditto for P3B-F :-). I …

I've got a very special (to me) CPU. I don't know if all POD 200MMXs are like this, but all of the TR switches work on mine. I think I've worked out all the combinations: setmul.png Because my motherboard does not have any L2, this makes the TR switches exceptionally useful. On my Pentium 120, CCD …

They aren't too similar in how they look though...well..in as much as Slot 1 boards can look different :P. I used a s370 build for my Celeron 800 rig and it ran pretty much effortlessly. Only gripe I had about that board was it's cramped free socket area (had to find a good but small CPU HSF). I …
