Hi,
i run a Tyan 1696D i trying to Replace my 2x PII 300 with 2x PII 333 SL2TV same Stepping.
But with then i get random delays.. SMP issues.
before i had mismatched steppings with same issues.
This does not happen with Dual PII 300s.
so i guess this is BIOS related somehow.
As the PII 333s are now same Steppings..
Anyone knows howto find the latest BIOS for 1696D ?
The benefit of running 2x PII 333 is not only 33Mhz more, it is half Power Usage per CPU.
A PII 300 burns 43 Watts a PII 333 is somewhere in the 20-25W Range.
Thanks for Help
Matthias
