"P3V4X now with fewer speeds?"
Alexander Fong - 6/30/00
Turns out that the newer P3V4Xs come with a Winbond PLL-IC which has 16 FSBs -- 66 (1/2), 75 (1/2), 83 (1/2), 100 (1/3), 103 (1/3), 105 (1/3), 110 (1/3), 112 (1/3), 115 (1/3), 120 (1/3), 124 (1/3), 124 (1/4), 133 (1/3), 133 (1/4), 140 (1/4), 150 (1/4).
Meanwhile, the older ICS PLL-IC has 32 FSBs -- 66 (1/2), 68 (1/2), 75 (1/2), 80 (1/2), 83 (1/2), 85 (1/3), 90 (1/3), 95 (1/3), 100 (1/3), 103 (1/3), 105 (1/3), 109 (1/3), 112 (1/3), 114 (1/3), 115 (1/3), 118 (1/3), 120 (1/3), 124 (1/4), 126 (1/4), 129 (1/4), 135 (1/4), 133 (1/4), 138 (1/4), 140 (1/4), 141 (1/4), 143 (1/4), 145 (1/4), 147 (1/4), 150 (1/4), 154 (1/4), 160 (1/4), 166 (1/4).
I don't know why they changed it, but quite frankly, I feel ripped off by this new revision, since I was expecting to get ALL those clock speeds.
Technically it's not false advertising, but it's VERY misleading because all the reviewer sites have the OLDER one with the ICS clock chips! I don't want anyone else to fall into the same pit as I did, so spread this around.
The way to distinguish the newer one from the older one is by the chip closest to the DIMM sockets. If it's a Winbond chip (W83195R-08), it has the PLL-IC with fewer FSB options. If it's an ICS chip (ICS 9250BF-18), it will have the extra FSB speeds. The newer one comes shipped with the 1005 BIOS preloaded (which incidentally has a remark about something like this (ie: different PLL-IC detection method)).
