Welcome to Windrivers!

According to the manual you have a 440bx chipset. You should be able to put any p3 100 mhz chips in there.... but you sure its not soldered into the motherboard?

Thanks for the the speedy response. the cpu is not soldered onto the motherboard. but there is a set of dip switches by the cpu i'm trying to find out the settings for the multiplier for dip switches for the cpu.

Thanks

Hello !
I found this topic after several days searching information about dip switches for my L7300 notebook.

May be anybody found manual about this switches ?

Please help !

Welcome to Windrivers Klep

I can't find a service manual anywhere... but one thought struck me... The motherboard was made by Asus, and they tended to keep the dipswitch settings the same across the various motherboards... so it MIGHT be possible to look at an asus motherboard and see of the dip switch bank has the same number of switches... and therefore the same settings...

Thank you for idea !

I'm will looking for simular m/b but in my m/b only 4 switch in dip. For 100Mhz Bus and 5x it is ON ON OFF ON (500Mhz) I didn't find related params in your pdf.

May be that is closer [DIP1 - DIP4]

I need to try setup 5.5 multiplier if it is will ok, the table is correct !

How did it go?

**klep** · February 18th, 2009, 04:15 AM

I'm waiting new cpu (from Singapure) 800Mhz, after that I will try to increment current multiply to 5.5 (on my old 500Mhz cpu) !

**NooNoo** · February 18th, 2009, 05:17 AM

the fsb should be 100 and then you will need a multiplier of 8. A lot of boards you set the fsb and the multiplier happened automatically.. I hope the bios understands an 800mhz cpu....

**klep** · February 18th, 2009, 11:24 AM

I tried set multiplier to 5.5 (0ff 0n 0ff 0n) but no result still 500Mhz (may be internal limitation).

I hope with 800Mhz will be better

In bios I didn't find any multiplier !

**NooNoo** · February 18th, 2009, 02:13 PM

Err you do know that those intel cpus were locked... you can't overclock them by raising the multiplier.

**klep** · February 18th, 2009, 03:26 PM

Ohh thank you! Before that I worked only with desktop cpu and motheboard and they locked not realy often

**klep** · February 23rd, 2009, 10:02 AM

I still have waiting for 800Mhz !

But I have one question.

My current CPU is http://www.cpu-world.com/sspec/SL/SL3RG.html
Core stepping PA2

But I order new cpu :http://www.cpu-world.com/sspec/SL/SL4GT.html
Core stepping PC0

Is it will work ?

*** is a core stepping anyway? Core stepping simply refers to revisions in die design made by Intel. The A2 stepping topped out at 800MHz, so in order to produce faster chips intel revised the coppermine core to correct errata and slightly deepen the processor's pipeline. The result was the B0 stepping, which allowed Intel to finally achieve mass production of 1GHz chips. When Intel realised that they couldn't make their 1GHz B0 chips stable in dual-processor configuration, they made another revision, the C0 stepping, which again removed errata and also shrank the die size by 5% (9% in the case of Celerons). In other words a change in the stepping of a processor represents a significant change in its limitations.
