When was the first time you plucked up the courage to replace your first cpu ?.
My first time was replacing a cyrix MII 300 for a AMD K2-450.
After nervously removing/installing the heatsink and cpu i came to the jumper settings.
Ok set multiplier to 4.5 (highest it would go was 5)no problem.Next set fsb to 100 :eek: my fsb would only go to 75mhz :( (hadn't checked this in my total noobness).
Totally gutted and in a strop i left it,not bothering to put the old chip back in and went around me mates.
To cut along story short he told me he had heard that the K2-450 would set
the mutiplier to 6 if i put the jumper on 2 therefore giving me 6* 75= 450 :rolleyes: yeah right.
Anyway back home i went to try it with not much hope.
After setting jumpers and putting all back together,with fingers crossed i nervously switched on WHOOPEEEEE bios came up showing all was fine it worked :)
