I have a couple of questions about the BIOS settings for my system and figured I'd come to the folks that know what the heck they're doing.....I'm stuck and would REALLY appreciate your help.
1st question (and most troublesome)
I have an AMD Athlon 2500 xp, on a KT4V MB and just picked up a gig (2x512) of Centon PC2700 (333Mhz DDR). When I installed the new mem the system would lock up requiring a CMOS clear. I have tried numerous settings but can't figure out the right combo.
Can someone please tell me the fsb and multiplier settings, not to mention the mem timing stuff and (possibly) the slots to use (i have a 3 DIMM slots).
2nd question:
My sys is currently running 512Mb 266MHz DDR installed and even with this I cannot set the FSB to anything above 150mhz (using auto which yields a multiplier of 11). CPU temp is running @ 45C. Here's my current MB info:
Motherboard Name MSI KT4V (MS-6712)
Front Side Bus Properties:
Bus Type DEC Alpha EV6
Bus Width 64-bit
Real Clock 150 MHz (DDR)
Effective Clock 301 MHz

Chipset Bus Properties:
Bus Type VIA V-Link
Bus Width 8-bit
Real Clock 75 MHz (ODR)
Effective Clock 601 MHz
Bandwidth 601 MB/s
Motherboard Physical Info:
CPU Sockets/Slots 1
Expansion Slots 6 PCI, 1 AGP
RAM Slots 3 DIMM
Integrated Devices Audio
Form Factor ATX
Motherboard Size 210 mm x 300 mm

Extra Features Fuzzy Logic 4
FYI - I have the latest VIA Chipset drivers installed.
Any help would be REALLY appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
