I put everything together with the new mainboard GA-6BXC.
I tested things with a SL2QF Intel Pentium II 333 MHz first, then with a QH31ES Intel Pentium III 750 MHz (Unlocked)
I set the FSB to the nifty 50MHz setting (DIP OOOO) and tried all 16 possible Multiplier combinations. These are my observations.
DIP PII / PIII
OOOO x2 (no L2) / x4
XXXX x2 (no L2) / x4
XOOO x2.5 (no L2) / x8
OXOO x3 / x3
XXOO x3.5 / x3.5
OOXO x4 / x4
XOXO x4.5 / x4.5
OXXO x5 / x5
XXXO no post / x5.5
OOOX no post / x6
XOOX no post / x6.5
OXOX no post / x7
XXOX no post / x7.5
OOXX no post / x8
XOXX no post / x3
OXXX no post / x4
[O=on, X=off]
Speedsys results of the slowest setting with each CPU are attached. No surprises, everything works as I hoped. I tried several games and they ran fine. I will keep the PIII installed and configured for 150 or 200 MHz, with SoftFSB for windows this can be raised to 400 MHz quite easily.
Now before I put everything in a case I have to fix that bad capacitor.
