I have an old motherboard, that can use either a
slot 1 CPU or a PGA370 CPU.
The board had a Pentium 750 MHz and was working fine.
I wanted to test a PGA 370 CPU a Pentium 700 Mhz
and according to the manual the only thing that I
had to change was a jumper from 1-2 to 2-3, which I did.
When I put on the power,Iheard a pop and the board went dead.
Both CPU’s worked with PC 100 sdrams,
and the memory was not changed.
The slot 1 CPU has 1 1.65V, the PGA 370 has a 1.7v
Why would a change in CPI damage the board.
Thanks
