Anyone have a BE6-2? I got a question.

I tried to o/c my celeron 500. It went to 563MHz without much of a problem. I know I have read somewhere that somebody got there's to 593 (7.5x79) and 608 (7.5x81). But in the BIOS when I go to User Defined I do not have a slection to go for 79 or 81. It goes from 75 to 83. For some stupid reason I tried 7.5x83 and I think the computer actually laughed at me. I had to discharge the BIOS and leave her at 563MHz. How can I get to the 7.5x79 or 7.5x81? Any suggestions?
Thanks

BTW I don't have the thermal cable plugged into it right now but I might hook it back up (if I can find it). How exactly are you supposed to put it on the processor? Stick it actually between the heatsink/cpu?

The BIOS will allow for 1MHz FSB intervals AFTER you get to 100MHz, before that you must use 66, 75, or 83. Sorry.

Guessing that 79 and 81 may be with turbo enabled? (+3 MHz)

Hmmm. Never heard of turbo. I am positive I read a review of someone doing this. I'll try and find it again. Anyone else have any different info?

There's a program called CPUBoost which I believe will enable you to manually select those missing frequencies once you've booted into Windows. Go to a search engine and look for CPU Boost...I'm not sure if it's one word or two. If you can't find, I may have a copy on a hard drive somewhere.
