Duron Pencil Trick: results in being able to raise, but not lower clock speed????

[iamthesystem]

Just as it appears by title: Pencil trick allows me to raise the clock on my Duron 900 from the default 9, to 9.5, 10, 10.5 (no windows at 10.5, though)...

but I cannot pick a lower clock rate (such as 8 or 7). No POST...nothing.

Any reason that any of you can think of?

thanks...

There is a bug in the K7T Turbo BIOS. Get the beta overclocker's BIOS ffom MSI's Taiwan site (when it comes back up).

has anybody else run into this???

i've considered maybe it is because i didn't pencil the L6 bridges to
ID the chip as having a 5 or 7 multiplier...but shouldn't i be able
to set the multiplier as anything if i've penciled the L1 bridges?

thanks again...
