I go along with bistro, but wanted to to see your options and what they were. From what I had found, it will take a 800 mhz P III. Now let us see what other folks find on it. Sure they have ideas on this.
But a 4MB video card, does leave something to desire.

GG1,
Sorry to hear about your Compaq problem, but that's certainly trivial in the grander scheme it would seem. The won court battle is great news and surely was a hell of a rollercoaster/headache. Motherboard's and PCs are low on the importance scale compared to grandkids.
Daizy,
Thanks for your kind words. If you can follow (last through) some of my posts then my hats off to ya. Someday I may actual get to the point where I even provide accurate and usefull info. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ One thing at a time...

Jaak,
I'm running a EPoX 8kta3+>>Vcore is adjusted through BIOS>>Frequency/Voltage Control.

Jaak,
You can adjust the vcore on the 8K7A+ (and the DDR SDRAM voltage). There are jumpers on the motherboard for this (JP2 for vcore,, JP3 for DDR SDRAM).
By the way... I have seen (and had Epox admit) that there can be a variance (on the high side) of about 5% for the reading for vcore vs the actual voltage. In other words a voltage (actual) of 1.75 can get displayed as like 1.83. I've seen this be the case with other boards as well.

Jaak, the vcore voltage on my 8k7a can be adjusted with jumper JP2, but it can only be raised, in 0.1 increments up to 0.4.
hi
thanks.
so its a misreading of actual values... and erring on the high side.
hmmm, the abit was reporting values like 1.84, and actually making it overheat (I got hangs), so it must have reported actual values, whereas the epox reports false highs?
Well, the epox 8k7a+ don't hang the CPU, but I wanted to find out how to set to a lower value, like 1.65V, which the jumpering cannot do.
I'm at ease now, thanks to DrMDJ's report.
I was a bit worried about this, see.
in regards to the new goshling, I do love this board since I NEED many connectors.
And, my hotrod card again moved into the iwill VD133.
most folks don't need what I need.
we said it before, you plan ahead, and allow for some expandability.

Remember, there is always something we forgot to ask.
And, it's only FREE advice!
Kind regards, Jaak

No kiddin' , on my VP6 board the vcore is ALWAYS shoving 0.05 volts more that what I intend. So this could mean that I'm too cautious. I wonder who designed the measuring equipment - VDU? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Well, if you're seeing a vcore reading of 1.83/1.84 then 5% lower rule puts the actual vcore at 1.75. That's right at spec for the 1.13 Athlon.

Good Morning All, I need all your collective brain power. I need a HD for this Compaq 5360 and I want it yesterday. All I gotta know is where to send the money. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Information
Just looked it up--that Compaq should have a Quantum Bigfoot 10gb hd. If you don't need all that capacity, pick up a 5 to 8 gig.
Some selections HERE.
But here's the deal--it's as DrMDJ says in the OD3 thread...throw in shipping costs and then look at the price. Yikes! If this system is just going to be a spare, or a gaming machine for the grandkids, might as well compare prices for a bigger one (along with rebates)--pays to shop.
