Cheap Crack

[Jimbo]

You?re absolutely right! I would love to have one of those boards but they are all more money. Now if I can get one of those, which support CuMines, then hell yeah! Alas, all of the cheap ($40ish: read CRAP) won't let you do 'dem tricks. If anyone has suggestions, I would love to hear them.

Anyone?

Well, a Soyo VBA+133 is $75 and cheap. Reasonable VIA board, and tons of features. Just make sure you get version E or later to run Coppermine.

Don't know what you talking about there jimbo, I have (had) some Tekram ZX boards that were $35 and they were jumper adjustable..
my brother has a celery2 566@850 in one right now....

office boy: That is what I needed to know! You nailed it and without even knowing what I was talking about! I'm impressed!
A cheap board that has CuMine support and is FSB and Voltage adjustable.
What I was really asking was what pin on the underside of the Celeron II cpu needed to be covered (painted/wired to another pin) to make it default to the 100 FSB. All of the CuMine boards that I have seen are about the $100+ range. I wanted to stay as cheap as possible.
If I don't really have to do that then YEAH, I will go with the Tekram board. $35 is about where I want to be!

Eug: Good suggestion but more than I want to spend. I want to throw this away or give it away (after RC5) and not feel bad about it.

Jimbo, there are no more on the tekram site, but I'm sure you can find some on Eba[/b]y, or yahoo auctions....


And why is eb[/b]ay forbidden in here?
