Finally I got a new computer http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif It's so fast, cracking RC5 @ 2.5 mkeys/sec! It's nice because now I can run all my games at max graphics detail and they still fly http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif

SPECS:

Duron 750
ECS K7VZA (builtin sound)
20gb Fujitsu 5400rpm HD
Voodoo3 2000 PCI
128mb Algol PC133 SDRAM

I was going for the KT7-E, but the place didn't have it and the guy recommended the K7VZA. Since I wanted the computer now and the price was right ($125CAN) I said ah screw it and bought it. It's not an overclocking board, but I have the fsb at 112mhz right now (840mhz duron). It locks a lot in 3d games at 840, but what can you expect at default voltage? I remember someone posting links which showed how to set the bridges to changed the vcore and multiplier. If someone could post a link, I would appreciate it.

I haven't posted in a while or worked on official RC5 blocks for a few days cause my old video card doesn't want to work, and I was going to use it in my wincip system which has my ISA modem and AOL account. Today I got a PCI ATI mach32 and a Trident to try.

I think that may even have been me that posted that link.
After a little digging I found it again.

So sit back with your beverage of choice (prefferably non alcholic for this job) and start reading.

One bit of advice .

Be carefull ,take your time ,do not get in a rush and ruin a new chip.
I am using the same type of chip (Duron 750),and just for a reference mine top's out at 950 on a Asus A7V.

So sharpen that pencil,very ,very carefully connect the dot's ,and hopefully you can get it running even faster.

P.S. mine has never liked it if I raised the fsb.

Thanks guys. I got my winchip back up this morning. It seems to only like booting when it's cold now. I'll d/l some blocks today. I've got about 3000 randoms right now. Will I even get credit for working on them?

One thing that's annoying me is my ram-it's pc133, but it won't do cas2. Not even @ 100mhz with normal ram timings! It's running @ 133mhz cas3 right now with turbo mem timings.

Check out the dist compu forum for my rc5 stats. I'll have benchmarks in a few days. Gotta d/l dx8 and 3dmark2001.
