You need a board that has multiplier manual control.
Mobiles default to 6x multiplier on desktop boards, so you need to be able to override it to something higher. -- *****Replace 'NOSPAM' with 'btinternet' in the reply address***** "Post Replies Here Please" wrote in message ...

So if my board only goes to 12.5x with an unlocked Barton in it now I
would have the same settings with a XP-M chip? thnx, Ed I have read that the multiplier on a mobile CPU goes up to 14x. I am not sure if that is correct or not, mine is running at 12.5x and I have tried 13x and that works as well. Providing that there is no board limitation, with the multiplier, I can't see a reason why it shouldn't go up to 14x - with the understanding of what I read being correct. My mobile CPU is the XP2600. -- Regards Morgan Hard drive noisy.... www.flyinglizard.freeserve.co.uk |

There's nothing stopping you modifying the chip (either your unlocked Barton or the mobile) to get get higher multipliers however You can also use any of the various PowerNow multiplier changers (if your board is not an nForce1/2) to change the multiplier in Windows. You'll need to fill in the second L5 to get access to multipliers above the default maximum. -- Michael Brown www.emboss.co.nz : OOS/RSI software and more Add michael@ to emboss.co.nz - My inbox is always open |

My Abit NF7-S 2.0 runs my Mobile 2500 at 2.5ghz stable as, at mem timings of 2.2.3.5 at 200mhz FSB Iam pretty happy with that, though will try to go higher as soon as i get some more info on the subject iam trying for 2.7ghz, air cooled maybe more water cooled 3.0 ghz would be FANTASTIC, though prob at lower memory timings Hope this helps.

"Michael Brown" You can also use any of the various PowerNow multiplier changers (if your board is not an nForce1/2) to change the multiplier in Windows. You'll need to fill in the second L5 to get access to multipliers above the default maximum. Can't find them on Google. Do you have the url's? -- Ed Light Smiley :-/ MS Smiley :-\ Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. |

The success rate of each varies a lot. Some may be able to change from one multi to another and another one may not. It's pretty much luck of the draw -- Michael Brown www.emboss.co.nz : OOS/RSI software and more Add michael@ to emboss.co.nz - My inbox is always open |
