Beware of Reviews,

[Richard_Cranium72]

Several times I've caught really bad mistakes made by persons doing reviews of Computer Hardware.

The most recent->

"Fuji Photo Film MX-2900 (43859000)

Resolution 640 x 480
Image capacity 35
Image capacity at maximum resolution 17
Batteries AC Input "

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong
Resolution is 1800 x 1200 and less if ya wish
Image capacity 100+
Image capacity at maximum (1)One
Batteries 5 volt DC input

If they can make errors this blatant, then the "Opinion" is jaded...

Read several reviews before the purchase

They were using a BETA BIOS (R WZ Beta 01 ) at the time. I am using an older BIOS (WW) and have abouslutly no problems setting the multiplier lower than 7.5 with the FSB running 133MHZ and above. This is the only comment I have heard anywhere of this so called problem.

The first thing we noticed was that when running 133MHz, any clock speed of under 7.5 (for a CPU speed of 1GHz) the system would not even POST. That means when you are running 133MHz or higher, you have to at least use a multiplier ratio of 7.5. Our guess is that AMD officially only has 133MHz FSB CPUs starting at 1GHz, so when designing the chipset and motherboards, manufacturers did not keep the possibility of 133MHz FSB with a lower multiplier in mind. What that means is if you have a chip that doesn’t run anything higher than 800MHz for example, you will be stuck at 100MHz x 8, rather than a faster 133MHz x 6. That definitely poses a problem for users with lower clocked CPUs. If we’re lucky, we’ll se a BIOS update that fixes this in the future.
