reading Celeron production codes

I have just purchased 2, 366 Celerons and I don't remember and can't find my information on how to read Celeron production codes. Can anyone help me out here?

My G400 dual hd 32 meg card died and I needed dual head functionality, the PNY card (FX5500 128 meg) was on sale at CompUSA for $79.00 USD so I grabbed one!

PIII's & BP6

Welcome aboard! The best thing you can do to increase stability and possibly hit 124 is to use active cooling on the BX. Until a couple of weeks ago I had been running a BP6 with 2, PIII 1100E's (1100/100/256/1.75V) @ 110 FSB for several years. Alas, my BP6 passed away 2 weeks ago :( , Long live the...

These are PIII 1100E socket 370, 1100/256/100/1.75volt. Stable @ 112 fsb, idle @ 98 deg. F, full load about 128 deg. F, Via Apollo Pro has a mini-peltier and runs at 79 to 85 deg.

No, its' an option in the BIOS designed into the BIOS by Gigabyte.

I can set cpu's to 100/100 or 100/133 or I have set clock speeds (cpu's and fsb) of 100, 112, 124, or 133 mhz.

I am presently at 112 mhz for both cpu's and fsb.

I have a none BP6 dual mobo (shame! :wink: ) with dual PIII's. This board also is running dual PIII 1100E's just like my BP6. However, it has an option (Gigabyte GA-6XTDR) that will allow me to run the CPU's @ their normal clock speed (100 mhz) and set the FSB to 133 (I have a gig of PC133, 4 256 me...

I hate to sound stupid but since I know so little about how some of these programs work, how could that cause my hard drive light to stay on from the moment of power on, prior to the actual boot-up of the OS?

overclocking 433's

Just a little "teaser", if you will. 433's have a clock multiplier of 6.5, the "best" that the BP6 will do, stable, is 110 mhz fsb. So, this gives us a "possible" 6.5 X 110 = 721.666. OBTW, this has been done with "active" cooling, large heat sinks, Peltiers, water bolcks, etc. I am in the process o...
