I Have a #$!@45 trigem-cognac motherboard that wont read my Cpu. I upgraded my CPU from a Celeron 700/66/128 to a pentium III 800/133/256 and my motherboard/Bios says that I have a Pentium III 600EB and will only run at 598Mhz I dont know what is is doing with the FSB or L2. I thought that if I can get the right BIOS flash upgrade that it might fix it BUT I dont think I want to keep this Peice of @#$2 motherboard. I also have a computer with a AMD K6-2 3D 450Mhz and it seems to run just as fast as my 800/133/256
So I got to looking at Overclocking and I cant overclock using the cognac and I gess that its not worth it to OverClock a AMD K6-2 450Mhz CPU BUT I herd that the 700/66/128 is a good one to overclock and I have 4 motherboards that will suport the 700 but dont know if I can OverClock (Aint Got The Skills Yet) Or the Know How So I some one out there could please lend me some brain it would be OVERLY apperciated and THANK YOU

Because your motherboard does not support 133Mhz FSB, therefore your 800Mhz (133x6) will only run at (100x6 = 600Mhz) speed.

I ended up getting a Intel PIII 700/100/256 and it is working better than I thought that it would. I am still running the peice of $%# trigem-cognac that HP uses. I have both computers up and running and conected using Synergy and that makes up for the WAY outdated computers I have been able to almost boost my performance by 3x.
I tried to over clock the AMD using the BMW mobo it came with. I can change the (I think its) stepping from 3.5- 4.0- 4.5- 5.0- 5.5 The jumpers are set to 100Mhz and 4.5 with the voltage at 2.4v. When I try to set it to 5.0 or 5.5 it just keeps restarting and will not load XP.

I have a BIOS upgrade for my HP Trigem-Cognac mobo and its put on a floppy as a boot disk. If you dont have a way to get one and you board is the same as mine I can mail it to you if that would help. You could also go to you local Library and use their computers to find the right upgrade and put it on a floppy there (Make shure the floppy is formated as a boot disk before you put the upgrade on it)

THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP its highly APPRECIATED

but i think i am going to stick with the settings i have and continue to save for a NEW pc
