So I am a new member of the retrocomputing scene and my collection was just sound and vga cards until I needed some test benches.
I bought this ABIT AB-PG5 because it is the only system built for an obscure VGA card.
The system came with an MMX Pentium which uses a 3.3V core voltage. However, the motherboard only lists a 3.4V option and a 3.5V option.
I know it is it within 3.3V±5% below 3.465V is this intended for this motherboard?
AFAIK there were no 3.4V CPU made. Does the extra voltage degrade the chip?
This motherboard clearly had an intent of having a lower voltage, but why wouldn't there be a 3.3V option instead? It doesn't make sense that there were only for overclocking options for 3.3V chips.
I have been looking for a copy of the manual but the internet doesn't have it indexed and the ABIT FTP never had it. So if someone could dig that up for me that would be great.
