(Mhz != \xx) Organization: disorganization Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk A softball for those who know these things: Do any of these identification strings indicate that I've purchased somethign other than Pentium 133 that I've paid for? Aug 11 18:22:08 cally /kernel: CPU: 133-MHz Pentium 735\90 or 815\100 (Pentium-class CPU) Aug 11 18:22:08 cally /kernel: Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x52c Stepping=12 Aug 11 18:22:09 cally /kernel: Features=0x1bf Does that stepping # indicate I may as well forget about trying to overclock it at 2.5 and x3? (I've tried, it ignores the x3 column :( --- To those who've followed my earlier note it appears the motherboard I'm using, a Shuttle Spacewalker, is notoriously unable to support EDO if it isn't Micron's EDO [and maybe TI]. So back it goes, hopefully I can get some parity in here and just forget about the bad experience.
