have you found anything in the $5.00 range?

i've looked some at the site and most are over that nice bump price.

 

[HappyFace]

mmmmm tasty motherboard. *crunch* Yum, hey at this price you can't complain!

This seems like a nice foundation for a web machine, or low end gaming system (super low end).

 

[buckeye]

I found an corsair electric shaver for men for 7.99...it is the cheapest but something useful that I can find I just ordered the mobo and this shaver for a total of 33 bucks...cool..now, I have to find a deal on Celery 566 (Cu Mine) or 633. when is buy.com's free shipping weekend? anyone knows?

 

[HappyFace]

Sell the shaver on E-Flay to drop the cost a couple bucks. Perhaps down to 26-28 bucks for the motherboard (Unless you need the shaver)

 

[aknuj]

does anybody here knows if this board good for overclocking????

from http://www.soyousa.com/

Supports 66 / 75 / 83 / 100 / 103 / 112 / 124 / 133 MHz system clock speeds for CPU over-clocking possibility

 

[buckeye]

here is an interesting review of this MB Text

 

[AkumaX]

haha, i didnt know this was a hot deal! i bought this mobo yesterday, but i bought it with a picture frame (7.95), a saving of 4 cents. i read in a review it overclocks well, says it easily puts the 300a to 450

 

[buckeye]

can I overclock a 566 or 633 celery to 850 or 950 MHz? what do you guys think?

 

[rhinox99]

Thanks for the deal, I'll probably go for one.

I'm not sure this is true though:

My understanding is that the latest bios will only post a Celeron up to 533, even though you could posibly O/C it to 800+.

And I did order one.

 

[WhiteMouse]

It will not support the 256M DIMM, if you got some from buy.com.

I have this board, and it's nice. You will have to find the driver for on board audio, which Soyo only provides 1998 version. And the mic had high static sound, so I cannot use dialpad or netmeeting.

BTW, I bought this board sometime last year, paid around $100 from onsale.com, free shipping at that time.

 

[buckeye]

hey Whitemouse, is the static caused by the board, or is it because of the mic itself? if I have the static too, then I will replace the sound card...

 

[WhiteMouse]

The static is from the mic, but I believe it is the board's problem, since the same mic works great on another PC. Yes, I was about to disable the on board sound and install a real sound card. It just never happened, and I do not even know the &quot;new&quot; sound card I bought several months ago is working or not.

[buckeye]

whats the difference between Celeron 566 and Celeron II 566?

 

[buckeye]

Guys...I am literally new to Overclocking. I would be much obliged in anyone could let me know if this MOBO can support this celeron processor CELERON 633 MHz 128K L2 CACHE PGA370 PROCESSOR if I have to overclock it only using the FSB settings (since we dont need a slocket for this mobo), can I achieve 900+ Mhz...please lemme know...please...thanks a lot...

 

[AkumaX]

buckeye, ill tell you in a couple of days, that's the exact same cpu im going to put in to see how far it'll go, heh, first w/ stock HSF, then my trusty PEP66 which is running a p3 700->1001 1.85v now...

 

[buckeye]

thanks akuma....I will wait for your post..
OSU UM game starts in a couple of hrs...too excited...go bucks...

 

[dragonlord2112]

Crap. I bought the board yesterday, thinking it was for a celeron 566. I bought a 566 - not a celeron2 today so.... please email me if anyone else can make this baby work, since I'm a new overclocker and don't wanna try this one just yet...
Thanx

 

[hans007]

the 566 only comes as a celeron 2, and this board doesnt support voltage tweaks, so its not gonna be the best overclocker, there is a review on bxboards. if it supports the p3 also it'd be pretty good still, wuth the p3-800/100 being about $180

 

[buckeye]

how far can we go if we run the Celery 566 at 100 FSB speed (approx 850 Mhz???) can it run stable at speeds greater than 100 FSB speed (with proper cooling though)? what is the default voltage setting on the mobo...?

 

[AkumaX]

oh wait..... you can't adjust voltage?! great.... i forgot about that factor, i guess it'll be LUCK if one could post at 950 w/ default voltage

 

[buckeye]

it could happen...why not??
