Actually this datasheet does give cachable ram versus cache size However that would also depend on how the board is laid out and bios too... Thank you for that. Oddly is doesn't state that it supports CPU speeds as high as what IBM used in this model. It also says that 16mb are the largest SIMMS …

Hmm shares some info with some others including the Microstar Ms-5123 iirc. Do you have a good picture of the board ? I think they are using a misnamer calling it "5500" when the actual chips are 5511, 5512 and 5513 Check www.datasheetarchive.com for a datasheet but I can not find any info on …

Well, Also just tried a Celeron 1.1ghz SL5XU on the same MS-6905 Dual adapter and no POST there either. Maybe the adapter is bad? It was in like new condition in the box and honestly never even looked used.

Thanks for the reply. I did in fact find them from the Korean guy haha. I actually went ahead and purchased the Celeron since it could run at full speed on the 100mhz bus. I take it your slotket adapter allows voltage settings? I'll look at his listing again and if needed I'll pick up another …

Are you using WDM drivers? I had to switch to VXD to resolve my issues with running DOS games, especially Tyrian, under Windows 98. Look at your sound card under device manager and make sure it doesn't say WDM next to it.

Your slotket should work with Coppermines and 'almost' any adapter supposed to do that is about to do with Tualatins by means of the Korean adapter... Well, theoretically. The problem would come from your motherboard & bios support. Check with the Korean guy if it's possible to get support for your …
