hi ive just bought me a p4c800 875p and i was wondering if anybody new if it takes p4-m cpus (as in low voltage northwood true 478 cpus - not dothans and the like, i know i need a ct-479 for that) any knowledge on this matter greatly appreciated - i dont wanna be using this celeron a second longer
Does it have a VID setting in the bios options? It should say something like CPU Vid [62]? If so then you have a chance that it might pick it up correctly, otherwise no, it will only run at the reduced multiplier.
ive no problem with it running a reduced multi - 12x 250=3000 but ive heard form places that p4c's dont support p4-ms at all - ie, dont work - just rumours?
im pretty shure it is the Abit IC7 series the P4-M's dont work on im not shure about the P4C800 i have the delux version in another pc but no P4-M to test it with.
dont get what you mean by 50%? - if you mean 12x multi then yeah, they default to 12x multi - but that means you can get decent fsbs
Does the IC7-Max 3 have a VID setting or FSB Termination Voltage settings? If you have VID, have you tried starting the machine with the VID set high? I have a 3.2GHz P4-Mobile (538) on the way and I'm really interested in motherboards that might let me run it flat out as it were ie. with speedstep. I know that the last of the ASUS P4P800's effectively had speedstep, but they are pretty expensive so I'm looking for an alternative. Thanks.
