Hi,
I am curious as to what letters come after P3 550. I've heard and tried a lot of o/cing with this chip. However the multiplier is locked to 5.5. This limits o/cing quite significantly IMO. Each bump up of the FSB increases the PCI bus and AGP speeds. Without the ability to change the multiplier settings the amount of o/cing is limited.

Presently I run at 632Mhz and 114 FSB (I think). I can push it further but 133 is 'Game Over'. I'm not TOO concerned about the whole o/cing thing but just curious as to WHAT 550 I have. My board is a SOYO 6BA+IV. The board is fantastic but what of the CPU??

This is just a query I have on my CPU. I have no problems at all (unless I push it to 133....AHHHHHH). 133 equals 'remove the case cover and reset J1'.

FYI, a 'case cover' is a three-sided metal HOUSING that slides over the midi tower to ENCLOSE all the components. This may come as a shock to a lot of you but I spared no expense with this baby. You can mail me for the details of the covers dimensions etc

.

Hehehehe....

Yours

Declan (aka fredwest)
