Anaheim 2/2A CPU Upgrade

08.14.03

For a while there have been two theories.. 1: The Anaheim2/2a doesn't have the proper power design for independent vcc and vtt and 2: It couldn't support a higher multiplier than 9x. The second one was proved wrong when someone tested an 800MHz Celeron (a true 800MHz Celeron not an overclocked Celeron).. however no one had proved the first one to be true, until now, a week ago (Aug 8).
As you know the only real difference in PPGA and FC-PGA is the addition of a second "reset" pin at 4-AH and vtt pins that need to be powered to 1.5v. Earlier FC-PGA/Coppermine Celerons did have this second reset pin.. however didn't have the vtt needing to run at 1.5v yet.. this is why there are the 533/566/600's in the database at http://www.e4all.info/databases/celeronspecs.htm that don't have the "2" under notes. What I think Trigem did with the Anaheim-2/2a was figure that all FC-PGA/Coppermine Celerons would be like the early 533/566/600 models and kind of made the second reset connected but didn't do anything with the vtt pins; so think of the socket on the Anaheim-2/2a as a PPGA with extra reset or FC-PGA with out 1.5v powered vtt (in all truth PPGA with extra reset works better for what I am going to say). I thought a long time ago (and may have even posted in the group once) that if the power theory is true as to why the Anaheim-2 can't go above 600MHz then maybe the use of an PPGA to FC-PGA adaptor would fix the problem. As I basically said before, the socket is like a PPGA with extra reset pin added at 4-AH, so this should mean that a PPGA to FC-PGA adaptor would fix this power/vtt problem and should allow the use of greater than 600MHz CPU's. 
I really think if the problem with the Anaheim-2/2a is a power issue then this should work. So what did I do? I set the Lin-Lin to PPGA to FC-PGA, popped it in the Anaheim2, popped in a 700MHz Celeron (s-spec is SL48F) turned the baby on and what do you know...she booted up and showed that I was running a 700MHz Celeron. So it seems all you need to use a faster than 600MHz Celeron in the Anaheim2/2a is a PPGA to FC-PGA adaptor or manually connect the vtt pins on the motherboard...read this for more info on that...http://tinyurl.com/k1ob
Please note a few things. This is an Anaheim2 with the cognac 3.07 bios. I do not recommend using the Cognac 3.07 bios on the Anaheim2. I did it only for testing reasons (it works, however it kills the ability to boot from floppy and who knows what else).. it should work fine with the anaheim2 bios (expect modified Anaheim2 bioses in the future). I also didn't test booting into an operating system.. this was just as bare as I could get it (Anaheim2, Lin-Lin, 700mhz Celeron, 64mb ram, power supply, keyboard) just to see if it would even boot.. however I see no reason it shouldn't boot into an operating system.

1.1Ghz Anaheim-2!!!

10.13.03

Just reporting the upgrading of the CPU on my 533id2 from 533MHz to 1.1 GHz with the help of the Lin-Lin adapter. The new CPU is a 1.1 GHz FC-PGA Celeron (1100/128/100/1.75V). Its s-spec is SL5XU. I popped the Lin-Lin in the socket on the Anaheim 2 mobo, put the new CPU in the Lin-Lin socket, attached a new HSF to the CPU, and fired up the computer. It performed the POST and loaded the Windows with no problem. It's been running steady a few days now.
The BIOS recognized the new CPU as Celeron 1000MHz. The WCPUID listed it as 1096.66MHz with FSB and multipliers being as 99.7 and 11 respectively, while Sandra reported it as 1.10 GHz.
The Lin-Lin adapter can be used for the PPGA to FCPGA or FCPGA to FCPGA2 conversion. It just requires the different jumper setting. The PPGA to FCPGA mode requires six jumpers, but my Lin-Lin came with only three. I went to a local computer store to get more. They outrageously charged me a dollar a piece but I didn't have time to get upset because I was so anxious to go home and put the new parts together.
I got all the CPU, Lin-Lin, and HSF from Computer Geeks. The prices: CPU $41.00, Lin-Lin $7.79, HSF $9.95. The Lin-Lin seems to be a simple design yet it is a powerful device for the Anaheim 2. It doubled the CPU on my computer!
My great thanks go to Enigma who made this upgrade possible.

1.0Ghz Celeron Anaheim-2 Using Lin-Lin Adapter

12.21.03

First, you will need 3 really tiny jumpers for the Lin-Lin. After looking through my 500 million jumpers, i realized I had 1. So after fiddling around, I learned that you can take a normal jumper on at an angle and wiggle it back and forth to get it on...

Next I decided I would install the 600mhz processor in the Lin-Lin to make sure everything was ok. Then I realized that 1 of the pins on the processor was slightly bent, so I straightened it out the best as I could and put it in the Lin-Lin. Then I went to install the Lin-Lin only to realize that the Lever on the Lin-Lin must be up in order to install it. Then, I couldn't figure out how to get it in because the lever on the motherboard cant be all the way up with the Lin-Lin on top. after examining things, I found that the Lin-Lin sits slightly off center of the regular socket, and that if you have the lever on the motherboard down just a few degrees, it will work. The Lin-Lin still wouldn't go in for some reason. I had to put a little pressure into it and wiggle it to get it in. My bet is a few of the pins were ever so slightly bent on the Lin-Lin, although I didn't notice any upon inspection. Put on the old heatsink and fan and it booted up just fine and dandy, 600 Celeron detected.

Powered down and took out the 600, inserted the 1000. Next step was to apply the thermal solution. Put a small dab of the stuff on the cpu core, and then spread it thin with a credit card. (I made a huge mess with this stuff all over my hands, the bottom of the heatsink, and a small amount on the processor.) Next go to put the heatsink and fan on. Well the clip on the heatsink was like way way to tight to get it to latch on so I had to bend it a little, then it was too loose, finally I got it installed right.

This heatsink is huge though and while it is on the cpu, it is possible to wobble this thing from the top right to the bottom left. Only that way because the heatsink has one of the 3 prong clips (although there are only 2 prongs on a socket 370 which are at the top left and bottom right).

After finally determining that this wobbling problem should be ok, I booted up. Detected Celeron 1000 in bios. I then disable all hardware acceleration and watched some DVD's, letting the CPU decode the video and the 5.1 DD. After 3 hours of movies, I touched the heat sink only to find that it was actually cooler than room temperature, and that (IMHO) it was quieter than the old heatsink and fan which was only 60mm as opposed to 8mm. (I would recommend this heatsink/fan to anybody out there, its quiet yet gets the job done well). Then I couldn't help but fire up CPUFsb. After clicking on 9250-10B, I bumped the FSB up to 112Mhz. Then I restarted, Bios still detected as a Celeron 1000, but when I entered windows it says 1.12Ghz!

Now, the final test. I loaded up TmpgEnc to encode (to MPEG2) a show that I capture to the HDD every week and put on cd. Normally, the segment of the show that comes on before the first commercial break (~13min) takes around 3 hrs to encode. Now, it says its only going to take 1hr 31min.

Overall, for 62 bucks for the fan, Lin-Lin, processor, and shipping, this is a very worthwhile upgrade. It provides a nice performance increase. The things that would normally stress the system at times (Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory) now run perfectly smooth. It seems to be stable, and if you add a GC-119 cooler on there it will actually be quieter and cooler than stock.

1.1Ghz Celeron Anaheim-2 Using Lin-Lin Adapter

08.10.04

Using a Lin0Lin adapter and the jumper settings previously published here by onelegdis, i was successful in installing a 1.1Ghz. Celeron S-spec: SL5XU in my eTower 600id with an Anaheim 2a MB.

Settings were:

a8-a9,b2-b3 for 1.75 volts, b8-b9 for 100 MHz FSB (ONLY 3 Jumpers)

the bios says it is 1000MHz, but cpuid, SISoft Sandra 2004 and Belarc all report it as 1.1 GHz, 100 MHz FSB Celeron.

ATI Vid-Card works in ME but not in XP

05.11.05

[Solution] Disable the Graphics from within the OS (WinXP Pro SP2)

In WinXPproSP2 you need to go straight to

Device Manager/Graphics Adapter/Properties/"DO NOT USE THIS DEVICE (Disable)"
Then click ok & close the properties window.

Once done you will be prompted to reboot "Choose NO"

But rather go to the Start Menu & select to SHUT DOWN.

At this point I place the Video Card into the PCI Slot.
(I placed mine into PCI Slot#1 & got no IRQ conflict's)

And Started up the PC(600is)

WinXPproSP2 with all MS Updates, then Auto detected the Add in PCI Card
(ATI RADEON 7500 DVI) and I was prompted to allow it to autosearch for a driver.

I choose to let it auto search.

The OS then found a WHQL Driver for my new card, but I noticed that there was no fancy ATI Control Panel.

However I all ready had downloaded the latest driver from ATI's Website

wxp-w2k-catalyst-ccc-8-121-050322a-022141c-english

Along with the Absolutely Necessary MS Update NET Framework ver1.1.4332
Without this NET Framework Update the ATI (Control Panel) won't work! You will get error's when OS opens, so make sure you install the NET Framework 1.1 update first!!!!!!!!!!!

Then Double click on the ATI Catalyst Driver Installer & allow it to install & follow all prompts.

And that is it reboot & all is good to go.
I used to just have 16/24bit color quality/1Mb Vid Ram/very lil resolution settings
I now have 32bit color quality/64Mb Vid Ram/DVI Out/Massive Resolution Settings
