Hi Guys,
I know it's been a while back but i just got a duron 1600. put it in my epox 8k5a2+ and it shows as duron 1600. everyone works great. i oc my fsb from 133mhz default to 166mhz and i got 2000mzh. so everything works great. I was reading a post that was telling me to close my last L2 bridge to enable the rest of the cache to become a fully XP processsor.
Here are the steps i did.
1. bought a conductive ink pen from radioshack and close the bridge.
2. comp boots up and show in my bios as a k7 processor instead of duron processor.
3. boot into xp and latest cpu-id shows my processor as an athlon xp. Before i applied the ink pen, cpu-id shows that it is a duron chip.
But my cache is still 64k L2. does it mean that my chip doesn't have the extra cache?
or did i do something wrong?
BTW my chips is an MIXJH or MIXJB when i open it up, i forgot but it's one of those.
and the chip was week 29 of 2004?
can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong? or I'm just outta luck?
