problem changing cpu on ms-5184 board

[Sarrkazztic]

I am working on a machine for a friend of mine...he has a pentium 233 mmx processor in it...the board is compatible with the amd k6-2 cpu up to 400 mhz I installed a 300 mhz k6-2 and set the jumpers to overclock at 350 mhz...computer boots and functions great with the exception he has 2 allegedly pc100 sticks of 64mb sdram in it that works fine under the pentium chip but when you boot with the amd it only shows the 1 "newer" stick of ram in bios and windows....if you take the newer chip out and try to boot with the older one in either socket it just beeps constantly no post no boot...could this chip be pc66 and therefore not compatible with the 100 mhz bus speed?? the chip does say pc100 on it but it is old...

If it says PC-100, then it is; unless it was made by "Typo Memory Company"...

May be that it just bit the dust--usual reason for the constant beeps. I assume you changed the FSB slightly to overclock that chip--the older RAM probably couldn't take it. May have had something to do also with the different latency values on the sticks. But if the old one won't even let you Post, better to replace it.

I am going to put the 300 back in it tomorrow and set it back to 350 and see what happens...he really just wants to use this machine to watch dvd's on and at 233 he has a bit of a lag in the audio....when I had it set to 350 last night even tho it only used 64 megs of ram it played the movie crystal clear....
