PC-DL Dee-lucks

[rsbriggs]

Anyone out there know what the setting is for these PC-DL Deluxe boards so that they won't sit at the POST screen displaying "press F1 to continue" ???

First dual Xeon up, no mods done to the board. Bumped speed up in the BIOS to 110 x 20 = 2.2 Mhz. for a freebie 10% overclock. Hope to have a chance to play more this weekend. Might bump it to 120 x 20 just to see what happens - a free - no mod required - 20% OC would be nice....

Set 'halt on' to be no errors?

Oh, and probably switch off the floppy drive seek too.

You should be able to get more than that for free...

With the same setup, IB got 2.8Ghz no mods...

I'm at 2.68 or so with a PC-DL, no mods and 2x1.6 LV procs

I also disable everything not being used...
such as all serial, para, usb, sound, midi, game, floppy, raid, sata ports, ide ports not being used, promise controller, setup boot seq. to hdd only, disable any other boot media including nic pxe mode... speech, bios logos ...
no sense in the cpu polling/looking for interupts not being used... ;)

OK - I'll fiddle with it tomorrow. Up to 125 x 20 = 2.5 Ghz without any mods.

Might actually try the U-wire mods some time. Sure is awesome to see 4 processors in task manager :thumbs:

This PC-DL deluxe is an absolutely wonderful MOBO. If it was under $100, I wouldn't have anything but...

For 2GHz xeons 20x can't be changed, so FSB is all you get to play with...
On mobo, set FSB jumper to 133 - reboot, go into BIOS
set FSB to 140 re-boot
works at stock volts and air ;)
2.8GHz :D
with uwire mod - you can get 3GHz TeeJay did it :thumbs:

2.5 MHz computer? That would mean it was built in 1990, right?:Pokes:

Yep. I guess that I did way too much work on those 2.0 Mhz Z-80s back in the old days. Assume that I mean GHz when talking about Xeons... :)

You should be able to change the multiplier in the BIOS? You'll probably get 18x-20x(or maybe 16x-20x).

The only negative with the 2.0GHz LV Xeons is that you will never be able to boot at the 200MHz FSB setting since, for a split second, the chips would need to run at their maximum multiplier(until the BIOS kicks it down). 20x200=4GHz is just not going to happen with these chips.
