Well, I am about to pick up a 533MHz G4 from a DA and put it into my Sawtooth. Once I get it, my motherboard is getting removed and having some dip switches installed. And these dip switches will be controlling my bus speed. Settings above stock that will be tried are 105MHz, 120MHz, and 133MHz. I will test stability and RAM slot functionality at these speeds. Anyway, I have the following 2 questions:
Can a dip switch replace a register? Or resistor? Basically, should I probably include this in the setup? I imagine the answer is yes if the resistors are anything other than 0ohm. Is AGP timing related to bus speed in this machine? The 120MHz setting reduces PCI speed to 30MHz, while the 105MHz setting increases it to 35MHz. PCI speeds are not important to me but I dont want to slow down my AGP bus. Speeds I will eventually test are (bus/processor): 105 / 577.5 105 / 630 120 / 540 120 / 600 133 / 600 Note that this will be after testing all of the bus speeds at the 4X setting to thoroughly test the bus speed overclocking first. I dont expect to get past 600MHz but I do know someone who has gotten 650MHz out of one of these processors, though his computer was run in a cool basement. i will also be trying to fashion a better cooling system.
