400Mhz in the Como-3
04.26.03
Not that it does a whole lot of good, I just installed a
400Mhz
S.E.P.P. (Slot 1) in the
Como-3 and it booted right up. S-spec on the CPU is
SL39Z.

533Mhz in the
Como-3
04.26.03
This upgrade may be worth it, I just installed a 500Mhz
(PPGA)
on a generic Slocket card in the Como-3
and it booted right up. That tells me the Como-3 should
max out with a 533Mhz (PPGA).
Make sure all DIP switches are set to "Off".

512MB RAM Supported on
the Como-III
12.21.03
Just tried two sticks of Kingston
KVR133Q/256R in it. Came right up. Win98 reports 512MB
as does the BIOS, when booting.
