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

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

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?

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.

Uh, no. 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.
