Old IBM E4N

[DeviousTrap]

I know I need to upgrade that old IBM. Its an Aptiva E4N with a 350Mhz K6-2. I already added 192 meg of ram so i have 192 and i wanna upgrade it with an old 550mhz k6-2. I've looked on the IBM site and all i can find is that the mainboard it a V70MA. I would lime to find a layout of the motherboard so i can see the jumpers to get the proceesor to run at 550 instead of 350. If you know how i can get more information about the motherboard please help.

Thank You in advance.

P.S Im not even sure of how fast a proceesor the board supports.

Try here: V70MA Mainboard

Looks like that 350MHz is the highest you can go.

If i remember correctly in the k6-2 series it would remap a lower multiplier to the correct one to get a chip to run at that frequency... i don't know what it was for the 550, but a little more research should find you that...
oh by they way have you stuck the new processor in yet? cuz sometimes the bios won't work w/ newer core revisions... like the 550... i'm just checking...

I have stuck in processor and the bios says 250mhz no matter how i cange the jumpers. Therefor i think the board just wont work with it. If someone knows where i can buy a dirt cheap k6-2 motherboard than that would be good. It still would be and upgrade from 350.
