[ILUG] Mixing processors?

[Baldwin_James at emc.com]

You could underclock the 550 to 450, which would give the most stable
results.
AFAIK, the 550 is not multiplier-fixed so you should be fine.

just run the 550 cpu at 100 x 4.5.

If you have adequate cooling and a beefy power supply (like 30+ Amps at 5v),
you could increase the core voltage by a notch and bring the FSB up to the
likes of 110mhz or higher until the system becomes unstable.

Then you would attain your 2x 495mhz status :)

Subject: [ILUG] Mixing processors?


I've a Dual PII/PIII board. At the moment I've two PII 350 processors in it.

I've had a 550 PIII for a while but didn't think it would be better than two

PII 350's. I've now got a 450 PIII and was wondering if I could 
over/underclock them? I was thinking that underclocking the 550 down to 450 
would be safer.

The other thing I was considering was splitting the difference and running 
them at 500Mhz, but I'm worried about over heating?

Or would I be better just holding out until I could find a matching 550 Mhz 
PIII?

Cheers,
