2567.22which socket for single CPU?hndymn.zko.dec.com::MCCARTHYA Quinn Martin ProductionWed Mar 19 1997 06:4914
I picked up a Tyan Tomcat III (S1563D) over the weekend with a P133 CPU.  Since
this is a "ground-up" PC build, I have yet to test it.  

One thing I could not find in the manual for the motherboard was if it matters
which CPU socket a single CPU goes into.  The board's jumpers were set for 
two-CPUs (the vendor inserted the CPU but did not adjust the jumpers
correctly which didn't surprize me).

The other thing I had a hard time tracking down was the PS/2 Mouse adaptor.  
Many places listed it, but only one had it.  I said "I want it" they said,
"sorry, $25.00 min. order" to which I said OK, what do you have for SCSI CD
drives?.

    It matters. 
    
    THe single CPU should be in the socket nearest the front of the machine
    (furthest from the ISA/PCI slots).

>>    Make your own for $5

I'm making enough of "my own" (the entire PC) - but I should have thought of 
putting that together also.

RE: single CPU

I kind of figured it mattered.  The vendor slapped it into the CPU 1 location 
(as marked in the manual).  I moved it over to the CPU 0 location (which is 
the same location as the "single CPU" version of the board.

thanks
