Gigabyte BX2000 mobo and Cel 1.1G

[Undertaker02]

Hi Guy's

HEre is what I have..

Gigabyte BX2000 mother board, BIOS updated to f7 (have just d/l f9 ready to update again)
PII-400 CPU
256Mb PC-133 SD RAM
40Gb HDD
GeForce 2 MX400
..

Managed to pick up a Celeron 1.1G CPU(New in Box) cheep.. and I had a AOpen Socket 370-Slot 1 Adaptor card (no model number on this- have had it on the shelf for nearly a year)..

Tried Installing The CPU and Adaptor card in the MOBO.. Only to have a non Boot situation.. And regardless of the setting on the "SW" switches no boot.. Oh and when the PII is reinsatlled.. no effect on the operation at all.. the Rev 1-second edition Manual that I have seem to not mention a 'Auto setting" Switch??

So my questions..

Any one out there Had success with CPU's above 700Mhz in the GB - BX2000 ?

Any good sources of Slot 1 adaptors ? (I suspect it also- oh and my normal suppliers don't know what they are) Please realise Australia is not a local call to someparts of the world..

Or do I convince she who must be obeyed that a fourth computer is realy needed? Well i did get the CPU cheep didn't I?

Thanks for any advice..

What's the DIP switch setting for Celeron 600Mhz~766Mhz CPU ?

The new FC-PGA packaging Celerons all have their clock ratio locked, therefore all you have to do is set the FSB to 66Mhz and plug the CPU in. The correct frequency will be displayed and used upon boot-up.

Manual

Somehow anything above that is going to really push it!!

Thanks putasolutions,

just finished getting the updated manual..
as they say "Bugger".. ..

Me thinks a 2nd hand 700 pIII oe Cel maybe my path to kick a bit of life out of the old girl.. and stick this 1.1G into a new Mobo.. hmm pity it wasn't a 1.3 that would have been the limit for them..

Ok Thanks again
