Sawtooth upgrade info needed

[Zeke D]

With all this talk of sawtooths, would I be able to put my dual 533 or single 733 in my sawtooth? will those CPUs even run at 100Mhz FSB? how worried do I have to be with cooling? The dual 533 and the 733 are both Digital Audio, so they have the fan assembly to exhaust out of the case. If I use the heat sink anyway, the exhaust will go into the case. How do I determine if my Sawtooth is Uni N Chipset
of 7 or more?

Here's a link to an app which will check the uni-n version of your Sawtooth.

Thanks for the link, I will need to put the sawtooth back togethrt to check it out.

You can put 533 DP or 733 single in your Sawtooth but it would require some modifications of CPU multipliers. With default settings of CPU daughtercards 533 would run @400 MHz, 733@550 MHz.
You can combine that with bus overclocking (100@120 MHz).

You're welcome. Good luck with the project.

I decided there wouldn't be much of an advantage over just running the 733mhz DA. I guess I was just curious since several regulars just love their sawtooths.

You could get one more RAM slot and about 100-160 MHz of CPU frequency with overclocking the bus to 120 MHz.
It would be a nice Sawtooth with 2GB RAM, decent graphics card and overclocked DA CPU.

Here's what I have so far. Each of my DA733Mhz had a single 512MB stick in them, I swapped them for a pair of 256, and stuck the three dimms in the sawtooth. Laying around I have a DP533 and a SP733 out of a DA. I couldn't get the Radeon 9800 in there, cause the card physically wouldn't fit.
