Hello,
yesterday, i finished my latest project: Upgrading a P2B-D to 133MHz.
Not only i had to add a jumper, also the clock generator had to be changed.
Maybe due to revisions i only had a ICS9150 on this board, which only supports up to 103 (or 112?) MHz, despite the PDF saying it's 133MHz capable, which it's definitely. So i got my ICS9250s from china and began my work. First attempt was a fail, the board did not post. After checking with my scope and every clock was there, i noticed a loose leg and resoldered the pins with flux and fresh solder. The hotair and flux alone wasn't enough.
After that i had to install the FS3-jumper as described in the tipperlinne-pages (http://tipperlinne.com/p2b-ds150.htm)
Now the board runs rock-solid with 2xP3 1GHz and 133MHz FSB!
I'm using this machine with a Voodoo2SLI-Setup for older games. Installed is Win2K Pro and Win98 (yes, i know, only single cpu).
