CPU Upgrade :)



<< P2 500 @ 567 Mhz >>


I assume that is a PIII-500?!? 😕 How much L2 cache is on the chip or module? If it is 512k, then you may want to monitor your results as I found that as you OC the chip wait states (latency) get added to the L2 cache and the benefits of OC'ing are lost. I had a PIII-450 that would OC to 558 (124FSB), but it processed WU faster at 450. I played with the latency setting, but 450 was still better. If it is a PIII-500e then have fun!

Nope, its PII 500c, the FSB is @ 75Mhz to get 567Mhz. /edit 128k cache

I have a ASUS A7M266 board laying around also 🙂 and will be getting ram and cpu for it fairly soon 🙂 Then, I have another machine capable of 4-5 WU's/day woohoo.
