I'm building a computer consisting of P3 @ 866 (133fsb), CUSL2-C, 256 Micron cas2 PC133, Matrox G450, etc...
Just for fun to see if it could do the gig dance, I started upping the fsb. Made it to 150 with no problems (all at 133), so I tried for 154, which would go just over a gig - the interesting thing is bios goes through fine, but at the Windows loading screen it stops...but it doesn't "hang." You can see the blue gradient churning at the bottom, but it just keeps churning. I always thought that when people said "Windows hangs on bootup" they meant, everything halts. This doesn't seem to be doing that.
I tried upping the voltage to 1.7 from 1.65, and I tried 133fsb/100ram/33pci, but to no avail, same thing. It also does the same thing at 155fsb. I didn't bother going higher.
Just curious if others have run into this, cause in my o/c'ing experiments, when something "hangs" everything comes to a screaming halt
. This thing is not exactly cooled by any means either (GOrb), but I was just seeing what it could do out of the box. Maybe I'll strap on my blakc label delta PEP66 and see what it can really do ...ah damn, that's for slockets.
Anyway, it was quite cool to see 1007Mhz in bios though
