Ok. I had some trouble running the Intel Pentium
III-667Mhz. processor with this motherboard since it totally
wouldn't post. Not having anything else to use, I just decided on
using the same Intel Pentium III-700 and see till where I could take
it.
Here's what I got:
Considering that I was able to get this processor to
the 1Ghz. mark with the Abit BE6-II, I was pretty disappointed that
I couldn't repeat it here. The same PIII-700 was previously tested
on Epox BX6 SE and it was
able to run at a stable 1008 so I really don't see this as being the
processor's problem. Upping the voltage on the BF6 didn't do much
except increase my temperature readings. My guess is that some other
component is giving out under all the stress.
Anyhoo, that's really just a minor rant considering the difference
in performance from 980 to 1008 will be unnoticeable. At 980, there
were no seeming problems and it allowed me to run Prime95 the whole
night long.
What I do find amazing here (well, in all my tests actually),
however, is this stick of TTI PC100 3-3-3 SDRAM that I'm using. The
highest I've got it so far is 155Mhz. using an incredible 2-2-2
setting.
