I have an 1.6a running on my P4B266-C MB.
I got the bug to upgrade a few months ago, and I bought a 2.4GHz CPU. I still can't get it to work. It will not boot with the 2.4GHz CPU installed!!! When I switch back to the 1.6a, BIOS comes up and gives me an error message that the last boot (the one with the 2.4) failed due to an "improper multiplier" being detected. I have checked the ASUS website, and one page states that 2.2GHz is the fastest CPU supported on the P4B266-C. Another page claims 2.4GHz is the fastest, and yet a third webpage claims 2.6GHz is the fastest. The User Manual implies 2.4GHz by way of the fastest manually DIP switch set multiplier being 24x. IMHO, I don't know why the MB, or its BIOS, would even care what the internal multiplier is, as long as the external bus speed is appropriate (100/400MHz for me). When I have some free time, my last hope of getting the 2.4GHz CPU to work is by clearing out the CMOS first. This is based on my guess that the "improper multiplier" message is due to BIOS remembering the multiplier was 16x, and flags the unexpected change to 24x as an error. I know that this is a long shot, but nothing else has worked (and I have tried everything). BTW, I have tried BIOS 1007.2 (beta from TW), 1007.3 (beta from DE), and 1006 (latest released).

Note the person running BIOS 1010 also mentioned they
have a P4C266 (no suffix), not a P4C266-C. Two very different boards. For 1007.002, goto... ftp://ftp.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/sock4...1007ddrc02.zip Gore wrote: Bios 1010???where I can get it? Global ASUS website only put 1006 ??? |

Have you ever tried the workarround? http://www.bleedinedge.com/guides/p4...mem_ratio.html Not yet - I haven't had a need or desire to run any faster... One thing I didn't mention, is that I bump my Vcore 0.05V (to 1.55V). I do this because the ASUS monitor reports 1.44V idle, 1.38V load (under CPUBurn). Sounds like I'd have to go up to 1.65V (1.6V?), which I really don't want to do. I used to run a P4 1.8a @ 2.7GHz using 1.65V, and the processor gradually drifted over two years, to where it only runs stable @2.0GHz now (no matter what Vcore - so I dropped it to 1.55V). I know it's the CPU that drifted - I improved my cooling (through airflow/heatsink improvements, verified by monitor measurements) with this same effect seen, and that board is running a 2.4 @ 2.9GHz now (stock Vcore). -- We HAVE been at war with Iraq for 14 years now, bombing their country on at least a weekly basis.
