i really dont see any graphics options in my bios, I have an abit be6-2 and was wondering what i could change?
you should be able to change the AGP transfer rate, turn fastwrights on/off, and the AGP apature (spelling?) size
i have agp aperture on 64 mb and i dont see fastwrights anywhere. Sure the be6-2 has this option anywhere?
aren't celerons different than coppermines? like, they can handle more voltage or something? That's why i am asking for coppermine voltages.

Here is a story for you. Last month got a p3-700cbo for friend. He knows only enough about overclocking to make himself dangerous
Well as you might expect he ran at 1.90 for 3 weeks at 1001 and one morning he awoke and wondered why his system would not start. Needless to say, everything on his system still worked except the CPU. 1.90 burned him out while I am still chuggin at 1.85 and 960.
The limit for this CPU is 1.85 from the mouth of Intel people themselves- I would not go higher if I were you unless you dont care about losing the cpu. I am sorry to pour negative rain on you, but I was also going to go to 1.90 to try and catch my bud but I am now glad that I did not

"The limit for this CPU is 1.85 from the mouth of Intel people themselves"
This is nutso high, but the official stated theoretical max in the Intel specs for Coppermine is 2.1 V. Personally I think 1.8 or lower is best but it also depends on the cooling. With the retail cooling I probably wouldn't even do 1.8. (Interestingly the 1133 MHz chips shipped at 1.8 V - and they weren't stable...)

)I read somewhere about 1.85 being the limit somewhere, wish I remember where I read it. Probably here Its been awhile, and what I was reading was not about the theoretical max, but the practical use max. If I remember I will post a link.

Well, for practical max I use 10% above the rated voltage. For my Celeron I am WAAAAYYYYYYYY above the limit, since I'm running 27% above the rated voltage. (1.5 V x 127% = 1.9 V)
On the other hand, the 1.13 GHz chips are rated at 1.8 V so 10% over that is 1.98 V. :Q I know, I know, the 1.13 GHz chips don't work properly. OK, the 933 and 1000 MHz chips are rated at 1.7 V so 10% over that is 1.87 V. So, yes, 1.9 V is really pushing it but if you have good cooling it should probably be OK. However, I don't recommend more than 1.8 V to anyone, and I still may drop down to 1.8 since my computer is at 100% load 24/7.
By the way, you PIII owners: ALL Celeron II chips are cB0 stepping.

hmmm, i will ask a friend at dell and a friend at intel about voltage. Besides, i am running 820 right now at 1.7 volts or something because my damn geforce wont go higher, any suggestions?
Well when you speak to your bud at Intel make sure you tell us what he said. I am just looking for a good excuse to go higher, regardless of what happened to my friend
There is no way I am bringing my CII 566 down from 850. If 1.9v fries it then so be it. It will be worth the ride.
How can 1.9 volts fry your cpu if your temps a low? My cpu hovers around 39-43 degrees under %100 load. I think that's completely acceptable since some people have higher temps running their chips at default.

Well I had read that it was not just the temp at 1.90 that can kill you but some wierd voltage spikes or something. I think I read that here, but not sure. If its just a question of Temp then I will run at 1.90 as I have a peltier and run at 24C full load at 1.90 at any CPU speed above 980.
ok, i will keep you guys posted on what my friends say.
jzodda- what temps do you run without the peltier. I have been looking to buy one but i never saw the point. What kind of peltier is that?

ok you guys have scared me. my celeron was running at 1.87 volts but i've now dropped it to 1.82 volts. (i have slotket set at 1.85 but BIOS displays it as 1.82v).
Well the Peltier I have is from Swiftech. Its the MC370-3. Its a heatsink (big one-larger than alpha) a 34CFM fan which is surprisingly quiet and the 78W peltier, with gasket, and copper shim. It is a nice setup. The only thing I changed is that I use artic silver and not the AOS compound that came with the kit. I also have a delta fan that I am thinking of putting back on cause I am insane As for my temp without the peltier on full load with the alpha/Delta/Artic Silver it was about 35C. Now I am at 23-24C on full load. It made a big difference for me as before 945 was the max at 1.85V and now 1036 seems to be the max at 1.90 and 1008 at 1.85-It wasnt cheap, but it was fun to set up.
