Is the pin out on the dx50 the same as the dx33?
Can you put a dx33 and slower clock into a dx50 motherboard?
Isn't there a DX2, Overdrive ,whatever that has the same pinout as the dx33
I was told by an intel dealer that I can buy a dx2/66 (overdrive ...) and
plug it straight into my dx33 motherboard.
The clock doubling is done internal (via a PLL) to the dx2/66 (overdrive etc).
Hence the motherboard is not required to provided a 66Mhz clock signal?
Maybe a dx2/66 requires the board manufacture to provided a 33/66Mhz jumper
where as a overdrive chip does the 33MHz to 66MHz conversion internally.
I have read somewhere that either the dx2 or the overdrive (?) has an extra
pin. What signal is on this pin? Is the rest of the pinouts/signals the same?
