Upgraders.......
I've been playing for two days now with these dip switches as you may
have noticed a bad date or two in my posts! I have an XLR8 carrier with
12 dips and a Newer ZIF with four dips. Well putting the two together
is a trick! I have had it running fine set a bit slower, but it IS a
400 MHz ZIF... soooo.......
The ZIF has four settings for 66, 75, 83 and 100 MHz bus speeds. None
directly correlating with my lowly 9500.... So I set it to 66 MHz
settings. Tried the others the last couple days without much luck. AND
as luck would have it, Newer Technology isn't helping me out here a
bit! :P
Now with the ZIF set as such, I play with the carrier card switches....
It seems that bumping them up as per XLR8's recommendations only kicks
my bus speed without moving my processor speed up much. Once, I had it
up to 360 MHz with a 60 MHz bus speed, but it was a bit unstable. 360
MHz on this 400 MHz ZIF????
So now I'm setting back at 338 MHz/56.4 bus/pushing 225.6 backside
cache. Runs great but I think it can do better..... at least from the
processor's side....
Maybe it's this motherboard, as it didn't handle the G4/400 ZIF well so
I shtuck it in another 9500 my boy uses..... but maybe not.....
Has anyone been here before? Like I said, I don't mind the playing,
just getting a bit frustrated with the results. Maybe there's another
setting on the Newer ZIF that would work better?
TIA!
