I have Dothan core Pentium M with L2 Cahche 2MB System Bus at 400MHz with Intel855GME chipset.

Nope. Not that I know of.

Hello, i'm a Joybook 7k user, i only got it 2 month ago( a day before s72 come out..damnit!!) and it is a nice little machine...i have been reading through ur review and i just wondering if u have time to answer some of my questions...

1: I was reading ur over clocking guide, and someone said about clockgen for BenQ is ICS950810 ...have u able to receive a working copy of clockgen for joybook 7000? if so how much can u over clock?

2: My joybook, every now and then when i press the power botton to turn it off, it will shut up, however 3 light at the bottom left (wirless,sleep and anotherone) will stay on..it only happens occesionally, and i'm just wondering if u have the same problem or not.

(I have only recently change from RMclock to centrino hardware control, maybe that could be the cause of the problem?) because i never had this problem before using RMclock....but thought no harm in asking ^^~

Thank you so much in advance for ur help

Hello cabbit,

1. Unfortunately, no, I have not received any ClockGen that would work with the Joybook 7000. If I did, you can be sure I will post the results in an update of this guide.

2. Nope. Never had that problem. You might want to have BenQ take a look at it.

Hope that helps you some!

Ah, a google for "M6Ne ics pll" found this page http://www.encke.net/encke/modules.p...c=239&start=15
which gave a good hint. Using CPUcool or CPUfsb from http://www.cpu-cool.de/index.html if you select the ICS 952611 PLL it's possible to set the FSB to 120MHz without altering the PCI clock. The numbers in the selector are all wrong, you have to go up to "FSB: 166.7 MHz PCI: 33MHz" and that gets you an FSB of 120.72MHz. (The "Current frequency" field will be correct after you hit Set Frequency.)

There's a lot more discussion on that page, but I can't read German and the translations aren't that great. But anyway, I'm now overclocked and the audio still works...

PS: the CPUcool docs mention that the 950810 is not controllable from the SMBus interface, so it may not be possible to write a clockgen program for it.

Just wondering...which program do u use for ur joybook 7000? centrino hardware control or RMclock? if u use either...what is the voltage u set for each different multiplier?

Also...i just want to ask u guys..when i run rmclock 1.6...it shows that the startup Voltage/multipler = 6.0x at 0.988V....

Is there anyway to make it startup at 16x at 1.340v......so the notebook can boot up faster?..

I used neither. I did not play with the voltage for each multiplier.

Regarding startup, to be honest, the CPU speed doesn't really matter much. During boot, the system spends most of its time loading the OS kernel and GUI, initializing the various devices, loading startup apps, etc.

Besides, if there's a significant load on the processor, the Pentium M processor is immediately ramp it up to 100%. No need to worry about ramping it up right from the start.

Hi Folks,

trying CPU-Z i found the following:

Pentium M 745 Dothan

under "Motherboard" it says:

Processor: i855PM
Southbridge: 82801DB (ICH-4M)

I searched ClockGen but couldn´t figure out the propper version for my Thinkpad.

Can somebody please assist me? THANK YOU! in advance

Cheers
Virgil

What Thinkpad model is it?

Unless someone here has a similar Thinkpad and knows which clock generator is used, you cannot know for sure.

Well, it's still worth a try to test the clock generators out by yourself!

Hi Adrian,

it´s a Thinkpad T42 Model 2373-CXG. I´ve tried the two intels which failed (=frozen system) and i won´t dare to try further as i don´t want to harm my system.

Hope that somebody found out the correct version which works - otherwise i´ve to live with what i have.

Cheers

Hello I have a dell inspiron 8600c with:
Pentium-M 755 2GHz
chipset i855PM
southbridge 82801DB (ICH4-M)

I already tried a lot of clockgen versions but none of them worked.
Here and on another website I read that I need Setfsb for Thinkpad X31 1.4c but on the setFSB website I only find a 1.4d version and that one doesnt work. Does somebody has this version? Or does somebody knows another version or tool?
