| 517828 | 2007-01-20 10:34:00 | What is the model of the mainboard? The board may not even support the PIII-733.As I said earlier, the MB is good for 1.2 GHz CPUs so I'm not pushing it past its limits by any means. When I look at FSB options I get pairs of FSB and RAM clock frequencies and so far the ones that fit the maths don't allow the computer to run. I'll try again tomorrow. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 517829 | 2007-01-20 10:52:00 | You have had it, Don't waste time on old crappers for no good reason, The fact you don't agree with my advice doesn't mean calling me a dicked. Treat your student daughter to a PC that doesn't suck. Lmao, anal. Yeah yeah, violence fixes everything Metla, including your half-arsed response to a genuine query. You are the big man when you are dishing it out Metla, but you don't care for it when somebody fires it back at you. Dish out what you like, but you'll get it back with interest, bullies don't scare me. Now, if we can get back to my query, if you have a helpful suggestion I'd like to hear it, I have no doubt you know the answer and I'm not too proud to admit I'm sailing in what for me are uncharted waters, or to accept your advice.

| 517830 | 2007-01-20 12:36:00 | Billy, whatever provocation you read into Metla's first comment, it was unnecessary to react in that manner. As already stated, you don't have to agree with all advice given and you are free to ignore it. Metla, please do not to respond to such comments like that but just use the report bad post function. It only makes things worse for all otherwise and does no one any favours. |

| 517831 | 2007-01-20 18:51:00 | As posted by CYaBro I would suggest you post the make and model of the motherboard here so we could download the manual and read the same. Then you may achieve the goal. |

| 517832 | 2007-01-21 00:05:00 | It sounds like it's running at a 66MHz FSB to me. Have you looked for jumpers on the board that set the FSB? Why I think this is: 66MHz x 10.5 = 700MHz Celeron that was in there (or maybe 100x7 depending on the celeron) 66MHz x 11.0 = 733MHz PIII that the bios THINKS it is correctly running 66MHz x 5.5 locked FSB = 366MHz (no idea why it says 433MHz, it might be running at 6.5 multiplyer but that makes very little sense) Anyway, details aside it's almost definitely the FSB as P3s run at 133Mhz and Celerons don't. Are you sure PC133 is the motherboard model and not the type of RAM that is in it? |

| 517834 | 2007-01-22 00:27:00 | Hi there The PC Chips motherboards arent that reliable (compared to other brands) and may never run reliably at 133 bus speed. The differnce between 650MHz & 733 will not be noticable in ACTUAL use. Isnt the multiper internaly fixed (in the CPU), someone else will remember (its been a while) There may be a setting in the bios you may need to change to get the 133 bus speed, there is often a jumper on the motherboard (sometimes both) Nothing wrong with running a PC this slow, despite some of the comments here. It still runs faster than your friend can type. |

| 517835 | 2007-01-22 01:58:00 | You could always just put the 700 Celeron back in, swap that fans over and reinstall windows if it's running slower than it used to. | george12 (7) | ||
| 517836 | 2007-01-22 02:14:00 | Isnt the multiper internaly fixed (in the CPU), someone else will remember (its been a while) You are quite correct, the multiplier's are locked in PIIIs (and PII I believe). Only hope is to get that FSB up. |
