Re: Processor Upgrade
The SW1 switch is a frequency defining switch. In the 133 posistion, it uses a 66MHz system processor bus frequency, and at the 166 setting, it uses a 60MHz processor bus frequency. To achieve a 133 processor speed, you need a bus of 66MHz with a muiliplier of 2.0 (66x2 = 133). To get the 166, you need a bus of 60MHz with a multiplier of 2.5 (60x2.5 = 166).
It is theorhetically possibly to use processors with higher multipliers in these boards. So, if you were able to get the 200MHz (non-MMX chips), and you set the board for 133, you should be able to get the system to run at Dual 200MHz. The math is (66x3.0). Since only the Intel processors are good for SMP (as far as I know), you would not be able to use AMD or Cyrix processors in these boards.
If you really want the most power for this system, purchase the Dual 6/200 FlexSMP board. This is a socket 8 Pentuim Pro board, and there are 4 processors you can use with it (150, 166, 180, 200). Intel makes a PII Overdrive that is a PPro/512k (full speed cache) that runs at 333Mhz. It has been reported to rival the performance of a PII/450. This is an awsome upgrade.
There are also 2 other companies that make Socket8 upgrades that are Celeron based solutions. The highest you can go with these are 533 (PPGA processors, not the 533A FC-PGA version).
I cannot vouche for compatability, but I know that the intel OD chips arent cheap and they are a simple chip upgrade, with no required software. I have not used the Spectra (evergreen) or the PowerLeap-II so I dont know what they require.
Knowledge is power....

Re: Processor Upgrade
proc in the second socket and it worked for about ten min. then reported
that the second proc failed so i took it out and tryed it in another machine
and it worked .i had a spare 200 mghz non mmx proc so i tried it and it has been working flawlessly ever since that was about a week ago

Re: Processor Upgrade
I appear to be stuck in a time warp. The 100 MHz processor will take Win95 & Win NT - both of which MS are discontinuing support , but will not accept MS2000 or Win98 due to Processor limitations. I could move to Linux, but have no experience with this OS. I only have a small (4 machine) network and do not wish to incur huge expense. (For the price of Win NT4 and 3 user licenses, I could get a new Machine). Does anyone have any ideas?

Re: Processor Upgrade
on another note...I tried to install a second pentium 133 into my proliant 1500 and i got a configuration mismatch... device found. Is there any way to avoid this message? The system will only recognize 16mb ram if i leave the system as is, but it has 128mb
