If in doubt on ram compatibility look for Kingston Vale ram it always works

Thanks for all the replies and the clarification. It is really helpful and appreciated. So I set the CPU speed again in the BIOS to 2.083MHz ... CPU Freq. Multi. 12.5x ... CPU Ext. Freq. 166\33 ... Mem. Freq. 333 (also tried Auto) ... with just the PC2700 512mb module ... and the system still hangs. …

Using memory faster then needed usually works fine.

When you say your computer "hangs". When exactly does it do that? From my experience, memory problems will mostly cause random errors, like blue screen of death in windows or missing file messages during boot-up.

OK ... so I just realized that I was running one version below the last non-beta version of the AwardBIOS. I was running v.1003. The last non-beta was v.1004. So I updated the BIOS to v.1004 ... and tried 2083MHz again as the Cpu Speed (see pic below) ... and so far no problems booting. I still get …

Today I finally set-up a system with an Athlon XP-M processor. This processor supports "Powernow!", and I wonder how similar the implementation is compared to the K6 mobiles. SetMul v1.23 now works with the K7 Athlon XP-M, and theoretically also with the Athlon 4 Mobile. It can do 3.0x to 16.0x. …

K8 support would be sweet :) A64LOWP works with K8. It can set both supported multipliers and frequencies freely. It can also show the startup and maximum possible FID/VID. http://falcosoft.hu/dos_softwares.html#a64lowp @Gerwin: Nice, as I said earlier I have no Athlon XP-M/Athlon 4 Mobile to test …

Nice, as I said earlier I have no Athlon XP-M/Athlon 4 Mobile to test with, so could you test also my K7 hacks in A64LOWP by running ATHLON4.BAT? I just tested it. The bat file somehow does not want to do the commands using these %1 switches. So instead I made the bat file simpler and ran all the …

I just acquired a VIA C3 667MHz CPU, not the most exciting thing ever but it's my first C3 and I'm looking forward to trying SetMul with it. 😎

Probably a Samuel 2, so not as flexible as an Ezra or Ezra 2. it'll give you a nice first taste. Ideally you'll want a BX board having FSB clocks programmable by Rayer's SMB tool -- try to keep your eyes open for one.

There are two versions of Ezra with the second offering more multipliers (16 vs 12). Going by Gerwin's info, he might have a Sam2 that also supports the 12 multiplier steps of the Ezra not-T. The Ezra uses a bit less juice, though. Either way, I think he'll find it very yummy.

Asus K7V-T mainboard arrived and now it runs fine with the 1 GHz Thunderbird in the first test, also Prime works fine after a few hours, also with 1 GHz and undervolting to 1,75@1,60V. 😀

Is there anything that you run that runs better on 86box/pcem over dosbox?
