Is there actually more than one POD? I see on the box of my PODP5V83 that it can be installed in either 25mhz or 33mhz systems and run at 63 or 83mhz. I have never seen one that runs at ONLY 63mhz in 25mhz bus systems. Was there such a thing or were they all PODs the 83mhz one?
There is PODP5V63: http://www.cpu-collection.de/?tn=0&l0=co&l1=I … ium%20OverDrive
There's a 100MHz version, running the FSB @33MHz with a x3 multiplier.
MOBO: PVI-486SP3 Rev 1.2
CPU: POD-83
RAM: 2x16MB
VIDEO: Matrox Millenium 2MB/Voodoo2 12MB/Video Blaster VT300
AUDIO: SB Vibra16 FM
SCSI: 72GB 15k RPM HDD/YAMAHA CD-RW 16x/ZIP drive + FDD drive
NIC: 3Com Etherlink III
PSU: 230W Generic
OS: Win95 OSR2.5

No. Not only was there never a 100mhz POD released in any form, but it's not even possible to run the existing 63 or 83mhz versions at a 3x multiplier.
And you dug up a months-old thread just for that? 😒
Even the 486 Overdrives had 4x multipliers. So a 100mhz model of those would require a 25mhz motherboard.
There never was one. Btw, I never seen a (any!) POD in the wild over here except once...and the owner wouldn't gift me the machine. I bought all the ones I have.
The POD63 seems more uncommon then the POD83, but who cares, the 83 is faster anyway 😁

Which is surprising since it was the POD83 that was late to market while Intel sorted quality issues to get it to run at 83mhz. You would think that with a shorter time on the market, coupled with a much higher price, the POD83 would be the rare one. The only thing I can think of that might counter that would be if more POD63's went to the scrappers than POD83's which the owners might have pulled out and saved or resold.

That could be, I'm just guessing myself.
Another thing I could think of is, perhaps Intel simply sold more 63 ones then 83 ones, but still produced more 83's that ended up unsold, ended up in wharehouses for years till someone found them and started selling them while the 63's went to the scrappers.
Slide, think we're getting close here mate? 😉
A little OT, but check out what I just snagged on eBay: a brand new in box POD 83mhz for $21 shipped. 😳
Supposedly the seller has a bunch more of them, too, so if anybody else wants one, it would probably be worth watching his listings. I dunno whether he'd ship outside the US or not, you'd have to ask him.

Cheers, good deal dude 😉
It should come with an extraction tool I think, for those nasty HIF Sockets 😁
Hmmmm...brand new seller...I'd be cautious

Lets just wait and see what happens...
