Hi all -
I have this eMachines Delhi-III Socket 7 motherboard from the late 90's.
I cannot find ANY documentation whatsoever on the Internet for it, but
I need to know how to configure the bus speed and cpu speed so I can use
it with my Pentium/100. It works fine with an AMD K6-II and a Cyrix 686, but
not the Pentium, so I assume I have to use those DIP switches and/or various
jumpers to configure the speed, multiplier, and voltage. Have any ideas? Thanks!

WOW! How did you do that? You guys are awesome...
Thank you.
EDIT: saw the rest of your post...
Dang. In all my searches for "delhi motherboard", "emachines delhi manual", "emachines delhi-iii",
that link never came up. I guess you have to have the magic touch... 😀

You are welcome 😀

It seems to be a nice little motherboard with support for most Socket-7 CPUs.

Tried it out using the instructions - now it works perfectly. Thanks again! Do you know if I can flash the BIOS on this thing to something more normal? Right now it has the old eMachines bios which hardly lets you do anything. I think it's an award bios.

Try the bios I have attached, it has support for k62+ and k63+ as well as most hidden options unhidden.
This AMIBIOS, not Award, so You need a AMI bios flashing tool obviously, an old one too.
