[ltp] 600e PIII upgrade under linux

[Dean Hedin]

Click on the url!  You should read through all 8 pages of the thread on t=
he=20
forum, many interesting things discussed.

Here it is cut and pasted from a gentlemen who's screen name is Sharedoc.=
:

"When you boot, you get bios post error 127. Then you shoud do the follow=
ing:=20

Choose "test", choose "exit", choose "config", hit "ctrl-d", opens=20
bios hex-editor. Take cursor to position 20, key "02" -> "0A", hit "F2", =
hit=20
"esc", choose "exit", choose "ok", and reboot.=20

Next boot should go without error-127=20

The hex-editor calculates the checksum automatically.=20

In case you edit the bios data and the machine doesn't boot correctly, yo=
u can=20
always reset the CMOS data by taking out the bios cmos battery for 30=20
seconds. After that the next boot will preset it to initial values (you h=
ave=20
to set the time also)."

I highly recommend Sharedocs 108 fsb mod.  This took my 600mhz to 648mhz,=
  but=20
the big improvement comes in the memory performance.  It is a simple matt=
er=20
of soldering a 1k resistor to the main board near the MMC-2 module. =20
