Re: Iwill MPX2 won't boot

166 is enough, i think my CPUs won't go that far, they are the 1.4 gig after all... Just a question, does it have PCI locks? Coz otherwise i can't see how you did 173 with it.

If you mean you have your 1,4gig tualatins, you may use only one and even for that one you need that converter for voltage adjusment. Tualatins work with FSB VTT at 1.25V, Coppers work at 1.5V I reckon and the VP6 is the 1.5V one...it's the AGTL operation that clearly specifies which bus to be used with which CPUs.

PCI bus is not locked and yes, the board works flawlessly because Abit understood only certain hardware MIGHT work with such high value of frequency - approx. 43MHz, thus they did not bother fitting the board with LAN, Audio and stuff (of course BIOS provides the Enable / Disable function, but why to make an OC board more expensive). Everest clearly stated the value to be true, so yes, it is possible to run it still at this level of stress. VIA Vectro USB2.0 / Firewire PCI extention card and Realtek 8139D are used in this system alongside with the AGP 7950GT, which runs OC'd at the AGP bus (86MHz) and is OC'd itself, GPU from 500MHz to 625MHz - no problems.

The AGTL thing wouldn't be a problem, it can be modded. However i'm quite certain my SATA controller will not run at 43MHz PCI, so for now i'll pass. And i need onboard LAN at the very least.
