Alrighty, jumping right in with both feet. Beosmax will be down in about 25 minutes, got the generic boot disk for promise, but this one has no active mirrors. I'll keep checking to see if its back up, in the meantime, this is my plan: Rename the beosmax iso as per their instructions. Create boot fl...

I thought BeOSMax only was for P4s and Athlons. If I can use it on the bp6 I will. I have a drive I can use on the bp6 onboard IDE if that will ease installation. The beosmax cd creation instructions say you have to have a boot image to burn the cd, they only provide P4 and athlon boot images. Any i...

some BeOS noob questions

New to BeOS, want to run it on my bp6, should I go for the BeosMAX, openBeos, yellowtag, or something else? Also, is there a voltage monitoring app for BeOS? My bp6 sometimes reboots with vcore reset to default, and the cpus won't run the overclock I have at 2.0 volts, it still boots, but is unstabl...

Sounds like the blaster or welchia virus or one of its variants. What OS are you running, and is it patched to all the most recent patches?

hyperspace is correct, the celeron 2 will not do smp, and you will need a neo s370 adapter to run one of them. If anyone wants to try it out on their bp6, I have a celeron 2 566 and a neo adapter for sale. The celeron would run at 918Mhz, but I kept it at 850 most of the time just to keep the pci bu...

I've heard good things about the honey bios for k7s5a. I run cheapoman's bios for mine tho. Keep in mind that overclocking is still difficult on this board because there is no vcore adjustment. I never put my unlocked chip in to test, but I don't believe there's a multiplier adjustment either. that ...

Well, I wish I hadn't done that. After following all the instructions and flashing the newest Bios, win xp wouldn't boot. I also noticed that the problem of not restarting was also still present.

BP6 doesn't always post after a reset or restart, vcore low

I don't know if these are related, but my BP6 doesn't always post again after a restart in XP or when saving and exiting bios settings. A power cycle fixes this. However, 9 times out of ten when I do this the system does post, but sets the vcore at 2.0 even though it is set at 2.1 in bios. All the o...

Not a thread crap, but anything higher than a geforce 2 is probably overkill for a bp6.

From what I've been reading, all that is required to enable the MP mode on any but the very newest athlons/durons is to connect one bridge on the processor packaging. I believe it is the L5 bridge. Then just make sure to get a dual mobo that supports some overclocking options, fsb, voltage, and mult...

If money is no object, then seriously buy another motherboard and cpus of your choice. Not to dis the bp6, but the mods necessary to run dual p3s are more trouble than they are worth, and even if you do it right, it still might not work for reasons out of your control. At least this is the gist I ge...
