19612 2001-09-29 02:56:00 firstly thank you very much to everyone who recently replied to my posting.

but my question now is, because i never got the motherboard manual since buying the computer, how do i locate the jumper (or switches as some of you said) what does it look like? where is it located? by the way, i have a socket 5 motherboard.

19613 2001-09-29 04:15:00 What is the brand and model number of your mother board Guest (0)
19614 2001-09-29 09:06:00 The problem you face is that no 2 boards are the same, so that without the manual or if the jumper settings are not printed on the board, then it is impossible to set them with any meaning, or to tell you where they are.
To describe for you what jumpers actually are: There are 2 or more parallel rows of pins 0.1 inch spacing, and certain of these pins are shorted out or 'bridged' with usually black square shaped thingies.
There will most probably be several groups of these pins for setting other things like cpu voltage, whether the cpu is an Intel, Cyrix, or AMD etc etc.
