Hi,

I am running an AMD K6-2 350 MHz CPU on a Jet (J542A) motherboard which uses
the ALi M1542/M1543,Aladin-V chipset. The voltage settings for this chip is
2.2 volts. which my m/board supports without problem.
My problem is that soon I want to upgrade to the AMD K6-3 450 (or  higher)
CPU and the voltage setting for this is 2.4 volts. My m/board doesn't
support this setting. It jumps right from 2.2 (with jumpers 1-2 closed)
right upto 2.8 volts (3-4 closed) which would fry my CPU. From there it goes
2.9, 3.2, 3.45 and 3.52v.
It seems I am unable to increase the voltage in increments of 0.1v. I have
scanned the m/board manual and the website. I have even e-mailed tech help
on the boards site but without reply.
I have read somewhere that it should be possible to short circuit the jumper
settings to obtain 0.1v increments which would give me the desired setting
of 2.4v. Unfortunately I don't know if this is true or how to do it even. I
am hoping someone here will know and can help me.
My thanks in advance.
Peter Davies ;-)
