I purchased this old mobo to put to use a spare PIII 850 flipchip. I want to put in a promise raid controller card and set up some server software.

Here is the question. What multiplier do you use to get the bios to recognize 850? The manual has multipliers to 8x and stops. I have 133 memory so I figured 6.5x might do it, but that is overclocking, and I do not want unstable CPU cycles with a raid configuration.

Is soft bios going to recognize the CPU as 850? I have not installed the board and I'm looking for someone with experience with this set up for advice.

Thanks in advance

p3's are all multiplier-locked (aside from samples) so it will run at 8.5x regardless of the BIOS / jumpers, you can only play with the FSB. If the BIOS can be updated to recognize >800 you should be fine though.
