    Is the pinlayout for socket P available anywhere? I heard it is the same as Socket M but flipped 90 degree's.

    If I could get my hands on it, my 667FSB Processor will be able to be BSEL modded to run at 800FSB making the processor run at 1.8GHz instead of 1.5GHz. I would simply have to ground BSEL[0] and it should run at 200MHz.

    Is it available/anybody have one?

    Thanks, ps2cho

    You misunderstood what I posted in the other thread. The pinout is not rotated 90 degrees, just the key (i.e., the missing pins). However, the information you seek lies within the following 2 documents:
    Socket M CPU pinout (BSEL pins on pg. 43)
    Socket P CPU pinout (BSEL pins on pg. 51)

    Looks like the BSEL pins are C21, B22, and B23 for both 533/667 and 800MHz CPUs.

    Ok gotcha. I found the correct BSEL pins and tomorrow I'll connect them and try to budge my 667FSB T5250 to 800FSB. I have a socket P motherboard so it *should* theoretically work. We shall see!
