I attached Tom's Hardware Page. Check it out. When I set up my Tyan Tomcat III dual p5, I used the advice from this page to set up the timings. I purchased the p5-150's because that was the best bang for the buck. The first thing I did was push the bus speed from 60 to 66. And then I pushed the clock ratio from 2.5 to 3. This gave me 200mhz speeds. Once I got the memory right, it has been running like a charm. I am keeping it running all the time to see if I can get it to overheat and give me trouble. So far the cpus are running cold. I can touch them without feeling any heat at all. I am running Solaris 2.5.1 x86 on it, and I throw a good load at it from time to time. The memory I had originally was from TI, and the replacement memory was from Mu tech. -- Craig Shaver (craig@progroup.com) (415)390-0654 Productivity Group POB 60458 Sunnyvale, CA 94088 --------------31D2DE924A7B7C1D61133CF4 Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Base: "http://sysdoc.pair.com/" <BASE HREF=3D"http://sysdoc.pair.com/">; <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <meta name=3D"Author" content=3D"Thomas Pabst"> <meta name=3D"GENERATOR" content=3D"Microsoft FrontPage 2.0"> <title>Tom's Hardware Guide</title> </head> <body background=3D"bgrnd.gif" bgcolor=3D"#FFFFFF" link=3D"#000000" vlink=3D"#000000" alink=3D"#000000"> <!-- #$-:Image Map file created by Map THIS! --><!-- #$-:Map THIS! free i= mage map editor by Todd C.
