Motherboard and Slocket Problems

[Gt3guy5137]

I Recently Picked up a New Pentium 3 866 Mhz Cpu with 133 Bus
I'm Able to install And Power-up computer but chip stays stuck at previous 650 mhz Cpu Speed i have Tried Bios i've tried jumpers i've lost info on current Slot 1 370 Adapter i'm using all i can get of info wise is SY-370 Ver: D (MVO) Not Sure what that means if more info is needed i will gladly add it So if anyone has advise or knowledge of what i can do i'm stuck cornered at a dead end.


Current system Specs
P6BAT-A+ Motherboard With Newest Bios Installed
Intel Pentium 3 650 Mhz (Currently using a Slot 1 370 Adapt)
512 MB Sdram PC-133 (Rather then using the slot 1 Cpu)
20GB Western Digital HD
Geforce 2 MX 400 64MB
Windows 2000 Pro

PS. This is not my main system just my server for gaming and a backup so i have a much newer P4 Just in case.

okay, re edited.... it does say it has a slot one, but still only says:

* SECC2 Pentium III up to 850MHz(100MHz FSB), Pentium II
* Celeron PPGA up to 533MHz

you said your using a 133 Mhz cpu...might be a confilct...not sure

Yeah I know but also Know that the board can take 1 Ghz Cpu now with bios upgrade And Is able to be clocked at the 133 Bus it's more or less does the slot 1 adapter have a special set jumper for speed or something cause i know when i first got the slot adapter i Overclocked the 650mhz cpu to 850mhz with a overclocked bus but now i seem to get know where with the new chip right now its underclocked at 650mhz when its a true 866mhz
even if i can't get the true speed i would at least like to get the most i can out of it other then what the old cpu was so i'm just wondering also if anyone knows where i can get a manual for my slot 1 adapter since i misplaced the card that came with mine okay thats enough confusion for now.

it depends...i used a slot 1 to 370 T adapter for my Dell GX1, took it from 450 mhz (100 FSB) to 1.1 ghz Tualatin celeron (100FSB) since that's all the MB could do (FSB 100). I also had to use the bios flash it recommended, even though there were higher bios's..(using A07) bios.



here is a link to a slot adapter, not sure if it's what your using, but might help...not sure how your bios flash can change your FSB from 100 to 133..?

It's Not Really the bios update that gives me that bus speed it does not show on the motherboard website specs but has the option for actual cpu bus speed jumpers and in the bios itself 66/100/133 which bus speed doesn't really seem to be my problem just getting the clock speed itself changed is what i'm trying to work on getting right and going well if anyone knows how i can get this done would greatly be thankful and thanks again for all the wonderful advice so far.

Well I got some new info of my Adapter its Made By A Company Called Nextron SYS-370 Version Maybe someone out there has the same adapter or knows where i can find some info on this card which i'm having problems working with see info on original posts.
