I just got a PA-2000 FIC motherboard given to me for free (can't beat
that price) and I am going to use it to replace my tired old 486 MHz
Motherboard. It came with a Pentium 100 chip. I have a Pentium 166, that has
the exact same socket, and was trying to use it. It wouldn't complete POST,
so I re-replaced it with the Pentium 100 chip. I then downloaded a copy of
the PA-2000 manual from FIC and noticed that there were no jumpers for 166
MHz and that it was stated in the manual that the highest speed supported on
the board was 133MHz. I assumed that there were no 166MHz's back in 1995,
when the manual was written, and that if it was the same socket, that I
could use the 166MHz anyways. Was this flawed thinking? Will it in fact not
go above 133MHz? And if it can is there anybody who knows where I can
download a more recent copy of the manual?
