Greetings-
Forgive me if this question has been asked before but I didn't feel
like reading the 3 buzillion plus articals in this group.
I have recently aquired a 386sx board with a pushed cpu from Pioneer.
I have a few questions maybe you PC hardware studs can help me with. First of
all, I read in some of the previous articals that for the most part ya'll
haven't been having trouble with pushed cpu's. But you did warn that the
cpu should be kept cool. My first question is this: would it help to put
some heat sink on that sucker. It sure is hot to the touch, much hotter than
my old 10MHz 286. My second question is this: This board has a female
receptical built into the board it looks kinda like the recepticals at the end
of a ribbon cable used for disk io. It consists of two rows of 13 holes.
What the heck is this thing for? Lastly the way one sets the cpu speed and
rom/video shadowing on this beast is with a program Pioneer calls setsx.
As far as I can tell the shadowing has absolutly no effect on system
performance. This is quite contrary to some of the other systems I have
played with in the past.
If you can answer these questions and/or have such a board but have
not had these "problems" please respond to me via e-mail or post to this
group. Anyone from Pioneer out there?
-Thanks in Advance
-Dave
