OK now this is beggining to tweak me a bit.. i have a celeron 366 thats been at 550 stable for a year it's been at default voltages.. as i understand it the MSI 6337 supports these processors but apparently NOT at 100mhz bus speeds...
There is jumper settings "as i read it" that allow 66--->100 settings.. i remove jumper and computer will not boot... so i says to myself ok lets raise voltages.. i did.. still nothing... reset cmos etc etc... i cannot get this board to 100mhz with this cpu..
AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG??

HELP HELP HELP :)
please icq or email or something heeh i want this board to OC badly.. as it will be a few months till it gets a p3.. i'll be back in a few more times today
THANKS

PS prior MB was a P2b asus...
and one other board a p3b-f both loved that cpu...

Do a search for 6337 or MSI and read the comments that I made with my 566 celeron. I ended up hardwiring the CPU ID pins to trick the MOBO into thinking that it needed a higher default voltage because the BIOS actually didn't change the voltage effectively w/version 1.2 and then I sold the chip before I got version 1.3 installed. 1.3 was supposed to fix this..I think.

Make sure that the voltage DOES change by rebooting after making a change and checking the PC Health (there is a -0.05 offset also) Be warned that voltages larger than 10% of the default don't work either. Your board will lock up. This means that your 2.0v celeron won't be able to go more than 2.15 volts without locking up (remember the -0.05v offset). The max will be 2.2v and then you'll actually get 2.15v.

Bios 1.2 or 1.3 are req'd for my voltage adjustments to take hold and don't F10 out either. Use the menus. The odd part is that some people need versions 1.0 or 1.1v to get the voltage changes to take hold (and 1.2 or 1.3 doesn't work for them) where my board needs 1.2 or 1.3v and won't make voltage changes w/1.1 or 1.0.

I think there are board variations.
