I got another P4 Mainboard i want to test.
Its a NOS S478 board. Default its jumped to FSB100. For testing i put in a 2Ghz Celeron and it boots fine.
After that i checked the supported cpu list from elitegroup and it looks like Northwood up to 3.07Ghz are supported.
So i searched for the latest bios, found 0310 and flashed it on a chip. Boot with celeron fine again.
Than i switched the jumper for FSB133 and put a P4 3.07Ghz northwood on it. No boot. Same with a 2,8Ghz one..
I switched back to FSB100 and the 3Ghz CPU boot, well only 2,3Ghz of corse..
So i wonder anyone else here have same exp on 478 boards?
