Then you do not have a 3i or in new series it has changed.
My 3i is from 2000 and there it is.

Sadly not ..   Look at the "Bios"Screen (Nullmodem Connection)

Nope, the RaQ3i has the multiplicator at 3* fixed. You can´t change it.
I´ve talked to many List-mebers. They all have he same. The RaQ 3i can
not detect any other CPU. (Without any tricks)

There are no RaQ´s with factory settings AMD-K6-2 500. All 500´er are
tricked.
