I have a P3 600EB/133mhz. Board is Gigabyte GA-6VX-4X.
I set the jumpers for a 733/133mhz.
Are there any other things that need to be changed. During boot up it still says P3 600. Not sure if this is to change or it will always say that cause the chip is a 600.

It does sound like its runnin faster!

I know it isn't much of an overclock but you have to start somewhere!

Sounds to me like you are trying to change the multiplier which can not be done since it is locked by Intel. The only way you can over clock it is to increase the FSB

So I would only change the swithches on the FSB dip switches, and leave the other one set for 600?

My board shows settings up to 152 MHz.

Yep that is what you need to do. The EB chips are hard to over clock because they start at a high default bus speed. Good luck

Thanks!!! Here goes nothin! (or somethin!)

Oh well! I only get 684 at 152 FSB.
At least I understand more now! Thanks!

152fsb is pretty damn sweet dude. What kinda ram do you have?? IF you can do 152 with your system, I would trade taht EB proc for a 700e. You'll be at over a gig in no time

I have 384 mgs of RAM.

I saw some one take an EB all the way to 170fsb. Beat him!

My friend has a p3600EB running at 176Mhz FSB. I don't know what kind of ram he's got but it must be somethin' nice.

A budy of mine is running his PIII 866@1054 and the chip doesn't even sweat yet. That's a bus speed of 162. What a great cpu! His pc133 Micron memory isn't doing too bad either.
