Bios!

Hey guys.
I just upgraded my bios (*wipes sweat from forehead*) :lol:
And found new options in that thar bad boy!
CPU timer, and an option to disable my onboard graphics.
I'm wondering should I fiddle with the timer?
My fsb is 60hz, and bios says its in safe mode. Will messing with the timer settings boost my performance a little? My cpu is a 633 celeron.
I'm not looking to OC like a mad dog or anything, I'm just curious :P
I'm going to bed now, *rubs eyes* Its 2:56 In the AM!
Be back later to answer or update, or whatever........................................

the default fsb on a celeron 633MHz should be 66MHz.
if you want more performance, why not just upgrade your cpu?
celeron's are really cheap these days.
you could probably get a half-decent one for about £20 ($35)
what motherboard do you have?
you may not be able to upgrade your cpu depending on that

Yea its 66hz, I was very tired last night :lol:
I was only wondering about the clock settings in bios, I'm giong to build a new pc in the fall, but wondered
what I could squeeze outa this one.
The mother board is a brookings> (MS-6312 Flex ATX WH11)



This PGA 370 system board uses the Intel® 810E chipset
Gateway Flex Case Only
Not a standard ATX
PC100 SDRAM DIMM system memory
Supports Intel Pentium ® III processor (with 100 MHz and 133 MHz front side
bus) or Intel Celeronâ„¢ processor (with 66 MHz front side bus)
Also Supports Ultra ATA 66 drives
Integrated Crystal 4299 sound
Integrated Conexantâ„¢ Smart MCII & SmartDAAâ„¢ V.90 modem
Integrated Intel 810E 2D/3D graphics accelerator

I found out The only jumper on my board is for cmos, That means it can't be done then?........ hum, oh well :)

Supports Intel Pentium ® III processor (with 100 MHz and 133 MHz front side

Looks like I can go to here, and I can go up to 512 ram! (I'm running 128) :)

M8 evry time u flash(upgrade ur bios the bios always reset its self
back the al setting to the lowest defaults,(fail-safe mode )so u should check al ur settins again or look for an option load optimized defaults

then check them al manualy like memory options ,cache,video shad ,bank timin' f/w t-n,cl ram cl-cycle r al set 4 optimum performance :) :)

Turnin' ur virtual memory off will help a bit as well.

Yup, Yup, I did all that from the get go ;)

Either I'm too stoned, or u r using way too much "slang" or "pidgin" In your answer :lol: :wacko:

No doubt that front side bus is set to low. My old 533 AMD front side bus can be maxed out at 100MHz. Shouldn't yours be at least that much?

I thought Celerons were easier to "overclock" than newer Intel processors.

well m8 u said u was after preformance and i thought u said ur bios was in safe mode and u might not off know the bios resests so i highlighted some off the key seeting to look for

and my typin' not the best so i tried to keep it short as possible
l2 cache=enabled
video bios shadow=disabled
xxxxxx-xxxxxx shadow=disabled
bank timmin'=fast
system bios cacheable=enabled
vidio bios cache=enabled
fast r-w turn around=enabled
sdram cycle=cl 2 fastes than 3
spread spectrum as lowest or off

and if u turn of ur page swp file (virtual memory)in windows will give a little kick,
and lot off theses older boards style run the memory at the same cloc speed as the cpu so ur memory might b runnin at 66 instead
of 100 if u hav 100hz ram there might also b an option host cloc +33 :)
