howto switch from 66 to 100mhz bus on compaq presario 4240es PII 333
how do i switch between 66 and 100mhz bus on compaq presario 4240es PII 333
? i believe it may be overclocked to 500 when it should be 333 at 5*66 it maybe 500 at 5*100 this is causeing it to overheat and freeze up, i backed off to a 3 multiplier and now it works underclocked and cooler but im not sure if its at 200mhz or 300mhz. meanwhile i will try to rig up another fan for it i find jumpers for multipliers of 3,4,5,6 etc but not for bus speed any ideas thanx john |

Unless your motherboard uses the Intel BX chipset, it may not be possible.
That's the first thing to check. Also, that overclock is best done with a celeron, not a PII. Basically, if you want to overclock successfully, you need to do quite a bit of research, preferably make your own system. Overclocking is not for everyone.

He didn't say he 'wanted' to overclock, he said he suspected it already WAS overclocked and is causing problems.

If it's overclocked, as you suspect, then they would have probably used the 'B21 tape trick' which causes 100/66 bus select to go high saying it wants a 100 MHz FSB. The 'simple' way was to place a piece of tape over the pin of the Slot-1 cart but some might cut the PCB trace for a more 'rugged' solution. Generally they'd have to do a similar mod to the Vcore processor voltage select pins because it won't run that fast at the stock 2.0 volts. In fact, it's rare for a P-II 333 to hit 500 under any conditions. However, from the almost non existent documentation on the Compaq site, I get the idea your motherboard doesn't even support 100 Mhz FSB so I doubt it could be overclocked the way you suspect. Why do you think it's a P-II running 500MHz? any ideas thanx john |

Yup I misread it.
Tried to find the manual, but it's not at listed at their site. Best I could find on their jumpers: http://www.compaq.com/athome/support...00/jumpr1.html "David Maynard" wrote in message ...

Best I could find on their jumpers: http://www.compaq.com/athome/support...00/jumpr1.html That's all I could find too but it's useless for any real information. If just SOMEwhere they said what the chipset was it would answer a world of questions. "David Maynard" wrote in message ...

Use the box for a door stop.
It probably has too much hot air in it to be used as a boat anchor.

Common Compaq cooling setup for those. Works great when everything is as it was intended to be. i plan to add another fan and try to get it back up to 333 its only at 200 now and yet it still seems pretty fast, anyway for 48mb ram, i also have 128mb pc133 sdram ordered thats another possibility in the BIOS it has fast Memory speed and slow memory speed, is the mem running async with the fsb? No. i will get pc133 anyway but i considered that 100mem may cause 100fsb but prob not Memory does not 'cause' the FSB. That is set by the processor 100/66 select pin, as described above. thanx john any ideas thanx john |
