Sorry, 533's are the WORST over-clocking Celerons made! Reason, the high multiplier! 366's are king on this board for over-all performance. Why? look at FSB (100 or above) on overclocked speed (550 and above) STABLE! This macine is presently @ 572 or (583 but not while on the internet). I have tried...

Problem is instability in win2k pro or xp.

I have found in both r .40 and .41 boards that random crashes happen if this cap is not repleced with 1200 or 1500 uf unit.

Not every one has this problem but it is so simple that I say "do it!"

To make a long strory short, she "blew a motor" with out even getting out of the pits.

Turns out one of my PIII's was bad and I didn't even know it. I now have only 1 good PIII and 2 good NEO's.

Did hit 1210 mhz with one PIII, worked in either zif socket.

Back to the drawing board!

Just got my "new" 1100E from "down-under" and I flashed my BIOS to the BP6RV128.BIN version a few minutes ago. I now have a working pair of 1100E's again :) !

Johnny 5's older brother back from the dead!

I'm back to the original V 1.0 R .40 board that ran my dual 1100E's! Re-did EC10 cap and BOOM! This board seems more stable that the R .41 and can over-clock just a tad bit more. However, it does seem to run a little bit warmer, case 109 deg f, other board 102 deg f, cpu's 113 & 107 deg f, other boa...

back from the dead!

I am posting this from my original R .40 V 1.0 BP6 board (yeah, the same one that ran dual 1100E's for 4 years!). I removed and re-installed a 1500uf 6.3 volt cap on the EC10 and BAM! Johnny 5's older brother is a live! At present I am running the same dual 366's from the "other (R .41)" board @ 572...

Your problem may be caused by to value of the EC10 replacement. From all I have read and from personnal experience it should be 1500uuf. If below this value board may be unstable and have random lock-ups in WIN2K/XP.

Good luck!

I've got 1, burned out 1 two months ago, can't find another one, looking at eCO 850/256/100/1.75V units in the interum.

Got my 1100E's to run @ 110 FSB on the BP6 for 4 years but it seems that this was a freek!
