Yep,

Its' Mozilla.com. I timed it at work on a T1 line and here at home (dial-up) and just getting into this web site it seems to be about twice as fast and I don't get that nagging "hange" when I post a message here anymore (so far at least).

Very interesting!

I switched over to Firefox when I got home and at the same time I moved the USB connection from a hub directly to the BP6. Guess what? I'm sitting here at 583 as I write this! Very interesting, lets see if it holds for the rest of the night. Oh, h---, I'm going for 594, be right back! Regards, jaybird

Johnny5's last set of "Dylithium Crystals" hit the

Ok, I now have a baseline on multiple Celeron CPU's on one mildly modified Ver .41 BP6. I have lapped and matched sets of: 366's, 400's, 433's and 500's. All hit the "wall", stability wise at about 581 to 583 or so. I have gotten the 366's to 605, 400's to 600 and 500's to about 650 but not stable. ...

problem with mbm 5?

I have been using mbm 5 and for some reason it is showing only 1.6 volts on cpu 2? In the BIOS it shows 2.1 (adjusted on both cpu's) also, when ever I over clock above 100 FSB the fan speeds are WAY off. I don't care about the fan speeds but I am concerned about the cpu voltage.

Question about XP Media Center Edition 2005

My boss just bought me a Gateway 2.8 Pentium "D" machine, 1 gig of RAM, dual layer burner, etc., etc. Nice box :D !

In Task Manager, shows "dual" (dual core) cpu's.

My question is this, can I "upgrade" my BP6 with this version of XP and will it "see" true dual cpu's?

Well, I guess the 366's @ 572 (104 FSB) are still tops if FSB is your goal. However, I now have 2 433's @ 604 but I don't like the 92 FSB. They will not go any faster :cry: Next will be a lapped pair of 500's ( I don't expect much because of the multiplier). I am still going to try dual PS's, a 300 ...

I agree totally! That is why, even though I can boot and do some work @ 583, or even 594, I have chosen to back down to 572 @ 104 FSB. This seems to be the "sweet spot" for this system. 572 @ 104 FSB and 2.10 volts is "max" for this board and CPU's, period! Still, not to bad for what I've got to wor...

No, I don't think all celerons can go to 100 fsb. However, that said, I do believe we can ALL achive better overclocking with a few (under $20 USD) mods, thats all I am trying to prove.
