IIn the BIOS, you need to enable ACPI and "PM Controlled by APM"

Good stuff!

Make sure you know where the CMOS reset jumper (CCMOS) is on your BP6. That way, if you push the overclocking too hard and the 'puter won't boot, you can go back to the default settings.

I run my RAM at CAS2

NP. Let us know how you get on with the new chip.

I used to run my 366s at 550 (100MHz FSB) but after I upgraded to 768MHz RAM, it wasn't as stable. But I value having more RAM over a slightly higher FSB. The important thing to remember when overclocking is there are no guarantees, and your results will be affected by the components you have, your ...

For what you want to do, probably the 1GHz single chip. If you're playing games a lot, the extra CPU will be pretty useless. Dual-processors are good if you do a lot of multitasking with more than one app at a time, or if you use an efficient SMP-aware OS like BeOS - www.bebits.com I value multitask...

Something obvious just occured to me........ At 90MHz FSB, your PCI devices are running at 45MHz, which is way too fast. If you can do 92MHz OK (perhaps with more voltage) then your PCI devices will be much happier as they're using the 1/3 divider, not the 1/2 divider you find at 90MHz. At 90MHz FSB...

Already have some, thanks, but it might be a good idea to put your location in your profile or message.

...and why do AGP cards have to be upside-down? With a window case-mod this would look great. But AGP is the wrong way up!

Good cooling on the northbridge chip may help - http://www.bp6.com/forum/viewtopic.php? ... orthbridge

Also, push the CPU voltage up a bit (be careful) over 2.0V.

I run my CPUs at 92MHz FSB with a GlobalWin LAC08 on the northbridge and my chips on 2.05V

Hello again Tom! Glad your here now, and welcome. I think you'll find the people here are just as friendly and helpful as they are on BeShare.

BP6 and BeOS - a marriage made in silicon heaven.

When I replaced the HSF on my TNT2U, I put the old heatsink (the fan had worn out) on the EMU10K chip of my SBLive! Although cooling may not help with stability or overclocking, it does help chips last longer. I'm not into this 3-year-upgrade-cycle that we're all supposed to follow. Just leave me wi...

As RRLedford is always saying (and must be getting fed up doing so :? ) it's not a good idea plugging any HDD into the HPT if you can avoid doing so. It's been known to be very unreliable, even destroying disk drives, although some people have used it successfully. If you can afford it, I strongly a...

Another long-known-about problem fixed by SP1

This one took even longer for MS to fix. Tchok.....

Meanwhile,

What does everyone think about Microsoft's "Security Through Obscurity" strategy for dealing with vulnerabilities? I'm of the opinion that holes should be publicised as soon as they are discovered, rather than waiting months for MS to do something about a patch. This would force them into moving muc...

Ahh, that's much more like it. Thanks, you reminded me to check ShieldsUp! on my BeOS installation. On another note, what does everyone think about MS's "Security Through Obscurity" strategy for dealing with vulnerabilities? I'm going to start another thread on this if anyone has any views - http://...

I'd recommend these on-line shops to anyone wanting to try BeOS. They were very prompt, and the prices including overseas delivery were excellent.

time,

There is a *massive* security flaw in WindowsXP.

It is essential IMO to install SP1. This vulnerability is soooooo easy to exploit.

[InactiveX thinks of "Trustworthy Computing" and ROFLHAO]

No big difference here either way - I reckon they're just cracking down on the leaked corporate keys. I suppose security fixes are a good idea, though.

Phew! Thanks DD.
