I'm wondering, does your mobo correctly identify your 2400+ XP-M? The reason I'm wondering is because I'd like to know whether any of the chip's functions (e.g. full set of SSE extensions) depend on the proc being identified by the mobo.

Now I've just got to persuade Abit to support PowerNow with a BIOS revision

Thanks and nice overclock!

My board says UNknown CPU but when I bench in Sandra it knows SSE is thier so I don't think it matters

I want this bad but I can't access multipliers higher than 12.5 :( Unless someone is willing to provide me with the pin out diagram of the chip? :D
You might have to kill the middle L3 bridge IIRC. Google for unlocking with the L3 for info. Basically the muliplier map for the connected L3 bridge is something like 5~12.5x and disconnected 13~20x(?) But you wouldn't be able to use the <13x multis after the mod (would you want to though :D).

Also I've heard that some mobos don't play well with the mobile chips so YMMV.

Pardon me if I got this wrong, but you're saying I can blow a certain L3 bridge to use the higher multipliers? I.E. will this remap the multiplier settings to higher versions in say, the BIOS? My MSi K7d-l only goes up to 12.5x in the BIOS and its 133FSB. Could I blow the correct bridges and remap all the lower multi's in the BIOS to do higher ones in actuality?

I mean, you can't possibly run 2ghz @ 1.45volts. My computer kept crashing. I modified all my bridges to start up at 10x and 1.85v 166mhz fsb

Now from windows I can choose my multiplier, fsb and voltage at will.
Currently I am running default 2500+ (1999mhz) 166.65X12 at 1.7v.
I assume this is a standard speed for this type cpu. Now, I can run up
to a max 14x multiplier (chosen and implemented on L6) and max volts of 1.85
(also chosen and the same on both L8 & L11).

config files can be written to change your speed to max, let's say if you want to
play a game or do some other cpu intensive task. Or you can run the speed
low for surfing the net or wp. I am loving this cpu and two programs,
one for the multiplier/voltage and one for the FSB.
