P4GPL-X + Pentium M

[Highland3r]

There appear to be a few of these available in the UK, and no P4GD1's so kinda tempted if the order for the US doesnt go ahead.
Have a few questions though, what sort of FSB's are these boards hitting?
Vcore and multi wise, are these changable in bios as with the P4C's etc?

As its only got the 2 DIMM slots, vDimm mods gonna be needed to run BH5 at a decent FSB, are there any known issues with running high vDimm on these boards?

p4gd1 and p4gpl-x are on the same pcb(different rev of the chipset or something, but i dont remember right on that one) , overclocks are the same or very close, just features that are different (mainly the 2 ram slots vrs 4 ram slots)

the locks disappear around 220mhz fsb apparently, but if you increase the pcie frequency, higher is possible. highest i've seen was about 300mhz, but 250mhz fsb seems common.

high vdimm is not a problem, a common mod is solderig the 3.3v line from the power supply straight to the ram supply voltage. the ddr booster has been tested to 3.8v.

vcore and fsb are changable in bios, as are ram timings and some other stuff. a new bios that allows for multiplier changing is possible, but is not out yet (if ever).

from what i can see so far, the group buy will happen. there is a lot of interest in these boards :)

I live in UK too, if you want a P4GD1 go to ebay, search for p4gd1 and tick the search option to show items from europe.

there's a couple of people in germany selling them for £66 + £7ish postage to UK

So take a look there, much better than p4gpl-x and only slightly more cost..

I've got the p4gpl-x and it maxes out at 264fsb for me. I was atleast hoping for 280 and above, because my CPU and ram is capable of that. Maybe I'll buy the P4GD1 while its still available...

can asus P4Gxx boards lock their PCI－E Frequence？

[lawrywild]

i heard they can't but im not sure

[Raiden Zero]

Max. i can reach is ~260MHz FSB.

But with Vchip mod 260+ is possible too.

[lawrywild]

he wants it for pentium M guys..

he'd have to be EXTREMELY lucky to get 260fsb.. so it will be fine for him

[guryhwa]

i heard they can't but im not sure

so i just buy a p4p800se and mod it
have al the caps replaced and Vcore modded


get 23sec at 3166mhz dothan 780,water cooled peltier -29C

[lawrywild]

if you want pci-e no

if you want agp yes

if i were you mate id buy 1 soon, as there only becoming rarer (widh i had the cash)
