Hey, I'm putting this system together and was wondering if anyone could give me a hand with some issues im having?
First up here are the system specs so far,
Celeron 733mhz
Gigabyte 6VXC7-4x
128meg SDram pc133
nvidia vanta
First thing im having trouble with is the ram im trying to put in to boost it up to a total of 256. I have 2 sticks of pc133 ram each 64meg in size, however when i put them in(mobo has 3dimm slots) the comp doesn't register them at all. Does this mobo take special ram or something? I don't really know much about this which is why im asking here.
Second question I have is that which vid card is better? An '8meg AGP nvidia vanta' or a '16meg Voodoo3 2000 PCI'? The Vanta is in there at the moment but i have a voodoo3 lying around.
Thirdly, is there anyway to unlock the multiplier on the CPU? The bloody thing only runs on a 66hmz bus speed where as the ram is capable of 133mhz. If I can't unlock it then my next best option is to set the FSB to 75mhz=824cpu clock or 85mhz=935cpu clock.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
BTW, if anyone wants to know why im bothering to put a system like this together then it's for the simple reason that someone gave it to me. I thought i may as well chuck in some parts i have lying around and fire up some old games on it :). I'm also interested in o/c it for some fun, i hear the celerons were good o/cer's.
