How to get a Duron to run at a sync 130 or 133 bus?

Sat Apr 20, 2002 3:11 pm

Hi,

Contemplating getting a Duron 1.2ghz but was wondering if anyone has had success getting the lowly 100mhz bus up to a speed (130+) where it can run in sync with 133mhz DDR RAM.

Are all these 1.0ghz+ Durons able to be unlocked via the pencil trick?

I heard that some of them can't like the AthlonXP.

Thank you.

I have a Duron-750 running at 133x7 = 933MHz. I was able to run it at 129x7½ before I changed the multiplier. My advice is to get a motherboard that lets you change the multiplier of an unlocked CPU through BIOS setup or DIPswitches. The early version of the A7M266 that I have lacks this feature, so I had to change the multiplier the hard way.
