1.8 as 2.4?

[jtzou]

I couldn't find a post about this, but I remember reading that you could bridge the first two pins or something on a 1.8A to make it boot up as a 2.4B or something? Could someone verify or explain this to me? Messing around w/ a gBox for my friend, and it won't let me get DDR 333 unless its a B processor. I've run the chip at 2.4 in my computer, so I'm pretty sure it can handle it.

I don't know where the site is but it showed that either clipping a pin or bridging a pair of pins on the CPU would force a defauld FSB of 133 instead of the original 100 of the 1.8a. But that is nothing that you can't go into your BIOS and change yourself.

Better be sure of your CPU's capabilities though.
