Thx for the tip. It would seem that a 6x multiplier is 'normal' for this version of the P4C800-E BIOS - I hope ASUS will either fit it or add the option to select a specific multiplier. I have downloaded the ESIT tool and the CPU is really quick at 2Ghz!
What is this ESIT tool that you talk of? I have recently purchased a pm 750 and the ct 479 and mine also shows up as 800Mhz (6x 133), I cannot seem to do anything about it, i have trawled the net for answer but, suffice to say, cannot. I am hoping you, or someone else can help me with this :(

I have the latest BIOS from asus 1023 but that doesn't help :(

thank you for the help, i now see why all my searches were failing esit vs eist, grr. i don't suppose you know why when i attempt to set my multiplier with this it has no effect? i don't see an option in the bios of my p4c800 e deluxe for eist...

i can't believe that my combo (p4c800 e deluxe & pm 750) doesn't work anyway :(

thank you again for the help. i will be tinkering for a while now i think.

For a 533Mhz FSB Pentium M you'll need the latest BIOS (1023) for the P4C800E-Deluxe motherboard for you to be able to set the CPU multiplier in the BIOS.

I guess this'll be the very last BIOS for this motherboard as it fully supports the CT-479 without issue :) I run my system with a 200Mhz FSB, PAT enabled and a CPU multiplier of 10x (giving me the same CPU speed as before - 2Ghz, I was previously at 133Mhz FSB and 15x multiplier). System is very stable and has a lot of overclocking headroom for when I need to (ran it at 13x for an extended period with no issues). Mind you for most tasks I downclock - using EIST via command line - so I use less power :)

So what's the latest on those using P-M's?

I sold mine after I fried my mobo. And when I say fried, I mean smoke was coming out of the N/B and it made a fried bacon sound. :(
Noob? How many noobs you know with a dual-cascade? :D

Move on, to what exactly?!? Since the P-M came to town there's not been anything much that is *enough* of a step up to notice the difference?

I've recently got a new machine at work... dual Xeon 3Ghz (2MB cache unit). It's fast (although not really *enough* as to say 'wow') and being a Dell it's very quiet but my god does it heat the room :(

My Pentium M-760 in P4C800-E mobo is most likely the best PC setup I've ever purchased. It's pretty quiet (stock CPU cooler and stock cooler on my GF6600GT) but very quick and totally reliable :) A recent LAN session lasted for 15 hours with games non stop and my machine never broke a sweat :)

I fried my old 2.6c :oops: and bought the ct-479 and a PM750 after reading about the awsome performance scores, kinda magical figures...

I used a Vapochill Micro in the earlier setup and would still like to make use of it, does anyone have any hints if it's possible to fit it on a ct?

Please be gentle as this is my virgin post...

i think you gotta remove the big plastic 478 heatsink-holder clip thingie on the motherboard and use the screw method
