Restoring an AMD Athlon CPU to its original configuration
Hello,
I need some help restoring my AMD Athlon to its original state after being (I think) overclocked/tampered with by its former user. These are my processor specs: A1100AMS3B ASHHA013OUPGW 96774450138 (C)1999 AMD Athlon 0.18um 1100 MHz Package CPGA 1.75V 95 Celsius 256kb cache 2 System Bus Speed 200Mhz There are groups of little gold connectors pairs on top of the AMD. Some have been bridged with a pencil. How do I a) find the original configuration of the CPU (what is bridged, what isn't)? b) unbridge two connectors already connected with a pencil mark? c) re-connect two connectors already separated? Thank you in advance for your patience. |

They are normally open. b) unbridge two connectors already connected with a pencil mark? Hmmm... and eraser I guess:-) c) re-connect two connectors already separated? Pencil or conductive paint, whatever.

Thank you in advance for your patience. Well, Yeah. Your Page On " The Real Front Side Bus I would have to say though, sometimes the FSB don't match that exact, I learned this off some one else on the Overclockers NG's The 533 P4 brakes down to something like 133.25 Something, even the 800 brakes down a bit Odd. Mine is something like 199.99 Sometimes it don't = 800, it's something like that anyway, hard to remember when I don't remember the last time this thing was even running the right speed. but most cpu programs just look at it as 800 Bus Speed. What ever, what ever. Much of a smile though, Per Clock.. I learned this one from someone on one of these groups too. I'm also glad that AMD is going the direction they are too, Intel is soon going to make it even more confusing with a little over 1Ghz FSB with one of the new chips, of which will be the same thing, 1024/4=256 I was reading a little higher, but I don't remember the number. And going to 775 LGA, I've seen a pic of one, they look really neat, weather or not people will like it is yet to be seen. Back to AMD for a moment/last thing I'm saying here. Not so long ago, someome asked me to help them with installing a new video card in a 2GHz P4 Sounds to me, from what he was telling me, is his board probably only takes a 4x video card. I suggested doing a full upgrade, and going with AMD with a board with 8x support. They want good speed, but don't want to spend a lot. I suggested getting only one stick of DDR266 128 And then going with more ram later when they have the money. They most times do Photo's, but sometimes do Video Games. Now I'm asking you something, was it good to suggest AMD? I don't know why I'm questing this, I guess cause this is an AMD NG, but I think I should've started a new thread for this. Denny. :-) |

What's confusing about it? I'd assume the next jump will be to 1200 MHz (400 x 3), followed next by 1600 MHz (but will that be 533 x 3, or 400 x 4, eh?). -- Mike Smith |

don't all old athlons like that run at 266 front side bus (or 133 in bios
settings)? why not just set your bios to 133 and your other setting to auto and see what you get. |

I suggested doing a full upgrade, and going with AMD with a board with 8x support. I thought 8x Video Cards are compatible with 4x slots? They want good speed, but don't want to spend a lot. I suggested getting only one stick of DDR266 128 Thats not enough memory. 256MB is a bare minimum. Might as well get PC3200 as well, since it's not that much more and might allow you to re-use it on the next upgrade (Who am I kidding :-p) And then going with more ram later when they have the money.

Well, Yeah, price/performance is gonna be better on AMD, but only if you need a new motherboard to get a faster chip in there.
