You see the highest that particular P-III could do is 8.0x. So when Intel releases CPU with a 9.0x Default multiplier, they will have to make room for that setting, thus sacrifice another (lower) setting on that CPU. After all they have only 16 settings max. That's what I was afraid of.... :dead: …

gerwin: I have a softbios, with multis ranging from 2.0x all the way to 12.5x(in 0.5x steps) - but I take it the 16 signals possible will limit which ones that actually work as the 'face value'. So, would that mean a jumpered board would hinder the 2.0x from becoming a 3.0/4.0x on a coppermine or …

Many thanks for taking the time to test :cool: ! Not to mention how quick the response!! Good news:The chip works and appears to have selectable multipliers ranging from 7.5x to 16x erm... well, I have to interpret that as 'bad' news then, minimum 7.5x sound very high indeed... :depressed: (or the ' …

One last note:Not all of these QS or ES have a free multiplier! Jepp, kinda figured that, after some heavy reading/googling... :disapproving: Still, hoping at least the same Qspec (and/or stepping) would share multiplier properties (locked/not), hence comparable. From what I read, some might have …

@Tetrium: that 1400mhz Celeron (QKE0), how low would it go, I wonder ? Still no 2.0x multi usable I guess, or ? (assuming your mobo has those) Or, this beeing a Qualification sample, was it perhaps locked? (just so I know before I somehow purchase my own)

@gerwin: that P3 750 slot1, was it easy to find ? And, any luck making it process a 2x multiplier properly ? (say, 2x 66mhz = 133mhz and not 267mhz?)

Thanks for the 2 links, but they ship to UK and Germany only. But I think that UK site will ship 'overseas', just ask them ? (in auction: crtl+F, 'overseas customers' etc, if sub2kg) Still, far from (dirt) cheap - but compared to the other current BiN offerings, it looks like a bargain. And I …

Ah, I see. Thanks for info. 😀 BTW, seems like the seller in my first post re-listed it 3 times, or he had 3 copies of the card. The noteworthy part beeing how the prices evolved for each listing, last card sold for a whopping.... 19.38 Euro.... 🤣 😜

Man, do we feel stupid! :dead: (if you didn't believe my noob claim before, than this surely proves it) I didn't notice that the CF card actually ALSO had different grooves.... duh! Oh well, adapter works just perfectly now... though for some reason it didn't recognize or see the CFflash one at …

So then, actual microdrives ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microdrive ) does not need any alignment, but flash based CF cards do ? Yes, that makes perfect sense :cool: Was wondering because I've never dealt with CF nor microdrives before. Still, those microdrives don't seem to behave as normal disks …

Are the same advice relevant regardless of the physical nature of the actual disk ? I mean, does it matter whether I use a genuine but old microdrive(tiny hard disk) or a modern CF flash card ?

So, how do you partition these things easily ? I couldn't even get PartitionMagic 8 to recognise it's presence, even when it was showing as 'disk' E in the WinExplorer (granted, XP labelled it a 'microdrive', but). And, when reformatting I had to use the native WinXP menu(properties etc) instead ( …
