Herd Improvement

[JimMc]

My progress has slowed (though I have SSP in my sights! ) to the point where I bit the bullet and ordered 2 CuMine 633's last week for my "herd" (anything more than one equals a herd, right?) from buydotcom. I'm currently at 450 Mhz & 550 Mhz, got my fingers crossed they'll both do 950 out of the box. Should almost double my output!!! . Not much compared to some of the Crack Rack fiends, but WTH.

According to UPS tracking, they are banging around the back of a truck somewhere between Anaheim and Sweetwater Houston. Have a second MSI slocket on order from Onvia, but it may be on backorder :|, hard to tell with those guys. May find out how well a CuMine runs on a BH6/generic slocket.

THIS WAITING IS PAINFUL!

These 633's do appear to be a sweet little overclocker, should know by midweek.

well, i hope you get htem soon, and they will be a welcomed addition to you herd/our team.

What FSB is getting you 633MHz? Can't be 100MHz and 133MHz yelds either 600 or 666 with the 4.5 or 5 multipliers.

Also, if those are using 133MHz FSB, how do you overclock them since the multiplier is locked? I can see easily how a 600 could be overclocked to 800 by running it at 133MHz or to 900 by running it at 150MHz, but otherwise I'm lost here. You would need a 158 FSB to bring a 600 to do 950.

I ordered 633's, 9.5 multiplier. I'll try to run them on the 100 Mhz FSB. Early reports are pretty good, may be a way to squeeze a little more life out of an old BX board.

I was informed that they are Celerons. Now everything makes sense.
