BG> Yours is a DX4/100, which is a clock-tripled chip.
BG> Ergo, the board speed and VL bus run at 33MHz.

RS> The Intel cpu can be run at X2, X2.5 or X3.

BV> Not quite.

Fraid so.

BV> Intel have never released a DX2-100.

Thats right, they took the alternate route of a DX4/100 which
has the internal to external clock ratio changeable as required.

BV> ***_ALL_*** Intel DX4/100's run with a 33Mhz clock

Nope, aint so.

RS> Normally selectable in the cmos, but it can be by jumpers on the
BV> motherboard.

BV> Which doesn't mean shit.

Fraid so. I wasnt talking bout the external clock speed there.
There is ALSO those alternatives to control the internal to external
clock ratio. That drives a pin on the cpu which controls that.
