AMD K6-III Processor No 2 Overheating Issues?

[The_Ghost]

yea windows 98 can be tough , what hardware conflicts do you have ?

go to resources of the hardware that you are having problems with and change to resources that you are having a conflict with

Hardware Conflicts are-
PCI Sound Card and the PCI Motorola Speakerphone Modem 32K.
That is the one thing I have never been able to figure out.

some times this will work , go to your device manager and delete the devices that you are having hardware conflict with , and reboot , see if that will help you

As ghost said
when you remove them from control panel you can also physically remove them
reboot
then reinstall one at a time
reboot
if still not work reverse the order
you can always force or hand set the interrupts and dma channels just like in the old
dos days- get out a pad and paper and lay it out yourself
soundcards andmodems have "traditional" resources-
put your sound card the sme place as an origional soundblaster would have gone
something else using that spot?
BINGO
move it
ALSO
delete or turn off everything you are NOT using that shows up in control panel
extra parallel ports, serial ports, or usb - whatever etc-- free up some resources
what resources do you have tht are unused
perhaps you will have to force something else to go there that is being assigned first to a spot that your sound card or modem has to have later
However I have a K6-2 system with 4 floppy disks 3 serial and 3 parallel ports
It can be done
why
I have to maintain some industrial systems that have 5 1/4 floppies (IBM PC style or earlier) and they do not like ones made on high density drives

60 ns is this EDO DIMM?

Ok, im back and with some good news and a question.
Good News-
CPU now idles at 87-90F (as long as the room temp does not go over 80F)
I now have a Dual-Boot OS, Windows Server 2000 and the Primary OS- Windows 98SE.
Now, onto the real question....
Is there any way to OC the K6-III on an MVP3G2 board via the Hardware/Jumper settings?
I would like to get it to 500Mhz. Nothing more, nothing less. I am getting tired of the 420Mhz.
-----------------------
To answer your question-"Is this edo ram"
No, its standard SDRAM.
Here is how they are inserted-
From the back to the front-
256-128-128 all are 133Mhz SDRAM (I do realize this tho- the MVP3G2 can only cache 256MB of the RAM, so why allow 384MB RAM?
I ran into a problem with Adobe Photoshop 7.0.1 as well... its not clearing the RAM. Earlier today I was down to 600K of availible RAM. It might be a Memory Leak but I have re-installed it with no luck. I open a picture and it stays in the even if I close the picture itself, so I open say 5 pictures at 5mb/each it uses 25.3mb well, I can close the pics and that 25.3mb does not return to "un-used physical memory". Ok... enough of that....
Im out for the day, cya laterz.

Usually SDRAM is characterised as 8 or 10
with the K6-3 I think the amout of ram cache problem goes away
I'd have to recheck this though
http://www.duxcw.com/digest/Reviews/MBs ... p3g2_4.htm
MEMORY. System memory coupled to the CPU by the Northbridge with two Winbond 64KBit X 64, 512KByte, 5 ns cache' chips. The three 168-pin DIMM memory slots can accommodate up to 384 Mbytes of PC-100 or 66 Mhz memory; but, the 1 MByte of cache' with 8 tag bits will only cache' 256 MBytes of it. 256 Mbytes is, therefore, the practical memory limit.

however from anand
The 1MB of L2 cache in addition to the 32Kx8 Tag RAM module cripples the MVP3 chipset's cacheable memory area to 254MB meaning that if any memory is accessed above the 254MB limit, it will result in degraded performance during the accessing of the data stored within that memory space. This, of course, does not apply to K6-3 systems, whose on-chip L2 cache takes care of the cacheable memory area of the system.

Photoshop is notorious about not releasing ram
try cacheman and use it to set up your system
it has a free up ram component and can also monitor your "resources"
w98 craps out if it runs out of "resources"

on the jumper settings
I do not know that board but many will bump up by using the LOWEST setting
like 2.5x which gives 6x on some boards- not my solteks however
your board has 5x and 5.5x jumpers
so what is the problem?
There are reports that the board works fine with K6-2 at 500
you do have the correct voltage for your chip - right
check your dip switch carefully
you printed out the manual?

[Flyordie]

Well, I have officially retired this system in favor for an
-AMD Athlon64 3200+
-FoxConn K8S Series Mobo w/ Winfast Chipset
-Antec 350W PS
-2x 256MB Samsung DDR Memory (184-Pin)
-1 AGP 4x ATI All-In-Wonder 32MB
-1 850GB Hitachi HDD
-1 20GB Maxtor DiamondMax
-1 13.6GB Quantum Fireball KA.13.6
Total Cost- $158.31
Oh and just cause I retired the system doesnt mean I still wont use it.
I got it put back together in an old case that I ripped an old Socket 5 out of.
I will post pictures in another post in the K8 Area of my new system... = )
