hi guys,
im building up a P2 system using an LX chipset board .. ive got 2 cpus (350 p2 and a 450 p3).. i dont have a 233/266/300 cpu..
in theory if i use the 350 cpu on the 66mhz fsb Lx board i will have a 233 and if i use the 450 i will have a 300..
question is, arnt all the first 66mhz p2's the "Klamath" core cpus running at 2.8v and the 100mhz "Deschutes" are running 2.0v... so wont the lx board be putting out 2.8v to the cpu which will only be rated at 2.0v... damage?
has anyone done this and can confirm my theory that it is/isnt do-able... dont want to fry my cpus obviously ..
hopefully i have made my question clear...thx
