So after finding a drop in 7x5mm 14.318MHz on mouser, I ordered that with some new 18pF caps. Replaced the crystal and caps, and guess what, its working! Touchscreen is also fully functional. While I had it open I also did some upgrades... CPU: From Celeron D 341 >>> Pentium 4 660 (also upgraded cpu cooler from intel all-aluminum to copper slug version). RAM: 512 MB DDR2 533 >>> 4 GB DDR2 533 HD: 40gb 7200 rpm drive >>> 64gb Intel X25-E SLC SSD System is much faster now. As fast as it will get with the stock mobo anyways. Time to play with GHz signals! |

I wonder if there would be any noticeable performance difference at all with Hyper-Threading enabled vs disabled. My 16901A logic analyzer with the Intel D915GUX motherboard came standard with a slightly faster Celeron D 352 (3.2GHz Cedar Mill processor with 512KB L2 cache, vs 2.93GHz Prescott processor with 256KB L2 cache for the Celeron D 341). There would be less of a performance difference replacing a Celeron D 352 with a Pentium 4 660 than replacing a Celeron D 341. Still, I might give it a try just for the heck of it (or maybe a Pentium 4 650 which has a lower TDP) https://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/383/Intel_Celeron_D_341_vs_Intel_Pentium_4_660.html https://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/384/Intel_Celeron_D_352_vs_Intel_Pentium_4_650.html |

Hyper threading was turned off in bios when I popped the P4 in. Out of curiosity i turned it on. System booted just fine, but the Infiniium scope app would not open and kept crashing. Something about HT is not compatable with that. So I just turned it back off in bios again and everything is happy. The 2MB cache in P4 might be a nice addition. FSB might also run a little faster. It was a pain to remove the cpu in my unit though; the heatsink had hot snot on mounting points from the bottom of the board. I had to unscrew and lift the motherboard up to get the glue off. The original ram sticks were also hot-snotted on the latches, so had to carefully peel that off too. Not sure if your logic analyzer has hot snot on the ram, cooler as well. --- Quote from: gslick on September 21, 2022, 06:33:12 pm --- After you replaced the Celeron D 341 with the Pentium 4 660 on the Intel D915GUX motherboard, did the BIOS have an option to enable or disable Hyper-Threading on the Pentium 4 660, or did the BIOS hard code Hyper-Threading to be enabled or disabled?
