Help w/ an Intel Slot1 Rig

[IFMU]

Ok heres the deal. I just recently got my hands on a Slot1 400.
From the case I just ripped off of it, its an actual PII not celery.
I have an iWill BD100 motherboard, by my understanding, its a BX? of some sorts? LoL... sorry, dont know Intel.

Im limited on ram, all I have is some generic PC100, but Im curious how I can tell what exact CPU this is. Where do I look for info to find out? on the web and on the chip itself.

Any info would be helpful. and any ideas how far I might be able to push this thing.

Overall, anything anyones willing to share with an Intel newb. :D

SilverSink, I know this is at least partially your area... any ideas? heh

TIA

IFMU

*EDIT*

Oh yea, this is something I would be willing to do mods to. VMods that kinda thing. However, I would need some serious walk throughs on this, never done any!~!

Ok, I went to OC and got some answers on this, qouted and posted here so later on anyone else looking for help can see the same deal here.

Then theres a sticker on it that says

Do these mean anything?
I have a printed manual for the iWill board.

Your S-Spec says it is a P2 300 on 66 bus speed with 512 cache ram and is multiplier locked.
Hope this helps.
By the way, there is no Katmai Pentium II, the Katmai's started with the Pentium IIIs. The first P2s were Klamaths and the next ones (the 100 bus speed ones) and Deschutes.

Really? er.... Ive done some working with it here and Ive been able to reach 504 with it. Tops. It seems to be locked. I did some searching and found one possibility on unlocking it, and that didnt work. Standard however it boots at 450. Im wondering if you got something wrong, or if I wrote something wrong here.
Its that, or this thing is OC'd by 66%. Which I doubt. No offense intended.
Ill retype whats on the case.

But with everything overall, that is all I was able to get out of it. I cant say if it was due to my ram or just the tops of the CPU.
The same went for a 333 Celery I have, it topped off at 416. Again, not positive if its ram or not. All I have here is PC100 Generic stuff. And wont have cash to get a stick of 133 for at least a few weeks.

It looks like he's right, here is info on your sspec:

im not that surprised, these PIIs were almost as good ocers as those old mendocino Celerons, its just that they cost a hella lot more money...

That is acually a Deschutes 300 and not a Klamath proc. The Klamath P2's were built on a .35 micron fab process and didn't overclock well at all. The Deschutes P2 was built on a .25 micron process and they overclock a lot better. I also have an old SL2W8 300, which is an oem proc that I pulled from a Compaq deskpro. Mine would max out at 450, couldn't get it any higher than that, so your proc is overclocking real well for that S-spec proc.

EDIT: Here (http://processorfinder.intel.com/scripts/details.asp?sSpec=SL2W8&ProcFam=47&PkgType=4549&SysBusSpd=5098&CorSpd=ALL) is a link for your proc to it's S-spec sheet at Intel.

Kinda curious if I could get higher if I had some better ram..... hmm...
Well thanks alot guys, been very helpful.

My bro was workin on his g/f's system and she had some 133 ram, so I swapped it into mine to see if the ram was what was holdin me back.
Well, I tagged 600 with this sucker. 133x4.5 ~ 4.5 is the locked multi. and 133 is the highest this board will allow me to go. So Im topped out. Wow, and this sucker could go higher Id bet.
Dayum..... heh...
Thanks guys!~!

Sorry bro I was on vacation and I never use a pc while on the road.

I'll answer it anyway even though you got all the answers :)

Intel BX chipset

Bus Speeds 66, 75, 83, 100, 103, 105, 110, 112, 124, 133


4 168-pin DIMM sockets supporting SDRAM, 1GB max.
(8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 MB)
- ECC also supported

One cool feature of that board is it has a Thermistor cable with a 'Screw' probe. Its made for screwing into the HDD to monitor the hdd temps....Its one of the only boards to ever offer that option in the box ;)

[IFMU]

So whats your opinion on that OC there?

From whats been posted on OC since then is that this is a 1 in a million OC with this thing. Do you agree?

Its all good, saw that you were out, so highly understandable!~!

[IFMU]

Hey, I got another question. Do you know if they had updated the bios' on tha board any? So maybe I could get a higher fsb out of it? Thats whats holding me from getting any higher with that OC there. The multi is locked, as you can tell, and prolly know... And at a 4.5x133 is topped. Which the 133 is the toppers on it...

Any clue?

[UnderLoK]

afaik your out of luck with that board. its max is 133 no matter how u slice it.

what is your voltage at btw?

[IFMU]

uh.... er... heh... yea know, Im not exactly positive.

Not sure if I stated it here or not, I need to get a hdd into the system to actually stress test it at that speed.

Once I get all that Ill let yea know how it runs and all the other basic stuff on it.
