Slot 1 cartridge removal
Hi all,
I have a P2 Deschutes 333MHz chip that I want to put in a HP Vectra VE 6 Series 8. It currently has a Celeron 266 Cacheless, with just the chip on a PCB with a HS on it. The P2 has the black cartridge on it. The P2 will for some reason not install in the Slot 1 slot on the Board in the HP. (VL-609) I have seen on the back of the P2 with the shiny square, at the top there are to clips. Do these allow the back plate to come off the CPU? I hope it can because I think that is what is blocking it from slotting in properly. Thanks, Neil |

Thanks, Neil OK...I know...I should have googled the idea first. I have now...And I found I had to remove the Celeron Retention device...I have and now have a P2 in place of the Celeron. It runs at 266 though, and its manufactured clock is 333...How do I change the Multiplier? The FSB is 66.6MHz, so the MP'er needs to be 5, and is currently 4. Thanks, Neil |

http://h200001.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/s...1/bpv04961.pdf See page 5. Bob Thanks Bob, that's great! One more question...Can the FSB be set to 100 safely using the switches? Or is it not recommended, and should be left at 66 and CPU at 333 as standard? |

One more question...Can the FSB be set to 100 safely using the switches? Or is it not recommended, and should be left at 66 and CPU at 333 as standard? Depends which CPU you have. A 100MHz FSB CPU will work at either 100 or 66, using the appropriate clock multiplier, and of course, 100 is preferred. Running a 66MHz CPU at 100 is considered overclocking, and may or may not work. The performance gain is probably too small for the average user to notice. Bob |

Actually, the performance/responsiveness difference is huge in many cases. The noticeable difference between the P2/333 and P2/350 was much bigger than the much larger megahertz difference between the 266 and 333. A similar responsiveness difference was noticeable with the jump between FSBs on the Pentium IV. Try using a 2.4ghz, single-channel 533fsb and a 2.4ghz dual channel 800fsb system side by side. -- Nate Edel http://www.cubiclehermit.com/ "I do have a cause, though. It is Obscenity.
