Sirs:
I have put together a system using this ECS P6VAP-A+ MB . The CPU I've installed is a FC-PPGA 1 Ghz.Celeron 2.
The chip says it will run on a FSB of 100 Mhz (max) ,and uses a voltage of 1.75.This MB specs show that this speed is not obtainable for this chip -- can it be ,by proper jumper /firmware configuration ?
I set all the jumpers for auto configuation ,except for JP9. This I set to force a 100 mhz FSB,but I don't think it worked
I also have the firmware set to use a multiplier of 10 X.
Here is what happens: When I first boot up ,I usually hear 3 short beeps ,that continue to sound -- sometimes this will go away ,but for the most part they remain ,even while in Windows(98SE)
I have a diagnostic program-- SiSoft Sandra 2001 that I ran to check on the CPU and Bios info. Here is what it reports-- It identifies the CPU correctly as a Celeron 1.00 Ghz ,FC-PPGA ,but underneith that the Rated Speed shows 667 Mhz ,and a 67 mhz bus. Why will it not use a 100 mhz bus ? Could it because I have JP11,12,and 13 set to pins 1&2 which is correct for a Celeron ? I am thinking this MB came out before 100 mhz bus Celerons came out ,and assumes all Celerons are using a 67 mhz FSB. And these jumper settings over-ride any other setting I make ,with other jumpers? (like JP9)Perhaps if I put these jumpers on 2&3 (for the Cyrix Joshua CPU which uses a 100 mhz FSB) it will fooland force the MB to use a 100 mhz bus ??
The worrysome thing I see in SiSoft is the (reported) CPU voltage -- it is reporting 1.84 volts ,which is 5% higher that the rated voltage of my chip. I think this may be what is producing the error beeps. Do you think I should set the JP15 jumper for Manual Configuration ,and then I can select VID0-4 for the correct voltage? If I do this ,I will need to set the BF1-4 jumpers for the correct Ratio,as well ,and I do not see a number as high as 10 as an option in the list
What is the listing *Res.* mean ,in between the 7 and 6.5 jumper listing ??
On a different subject ,I have 256MB SDRAMS -- one stick is PC100 ,the other is PC133 . Which do you reccomend I use for the fastest (and best) operation ? I currently have the PC100 sticks installed --- will the PC133 stick change my FSB speed to 133 ??
Should I set my CPU Host Clock in Bios to 100/33 or what ?
Why (in the Frequency/Voltage Control Option in Bios setup) is *CPU Core Voltage* set to *Default* ,and greyed out ,so I cannot change it ?
Hoping you can help me sort this mess out.
Sincerely,
Dan Michler
