Hello,

any chance there is another working page that contains the excellent p2b series update guide?

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

Great thanks!
So no hidden 133 setting for my p2b-s 1.03 it appears.

There is one but it usually does not work properly.

The attachment fsb3.JPG is no longer available

(edit) the malfunction is mentioned in this forum thread:
("Yeah, upgrading older P2B-series boards would be a lot simpler if the
9150-08 133Mhz setting actually worked, instead of producing an ugly
signal the BX interprets as 109Mhz.")

Also, the guide by Roland Scheidegger mentions an essay on RAM for 440BX - see attached.

The attachment RAM modules compatible with motherboards based on the i440bx chipset.doc is no longer available
