Dark Rave, what makes you say that? The whole point of the Neo s370 is to allow a PPGA S370 MoBo to run a Coppermine FC-PGA chip... And from the reviews I have read, they work just fine. I know that SMP isn't a guarantee, but I am willing to try, and since the CPU's I have a cB0 stepping CPU's they should be SMP enabled.
If you see an error in what I am saying, PLEASE let me know, but I think I'll be ok...
Maybe you're thinking of the Tualatin (SP?) FC-PGA CPU's?

It depends on which modification you use but you will have to modify adapters and/or mainboard. There several different ways to modify the BP6, so it will SMP Pentium III (Coppermine) FC-PGA processors. And your right, the cB0 stepping will SMP.Ender666666 wrote:Dark Rave, what makes you say that? The whole point of the Neo s370 is to allow a PPGA S370 MoBo to run a Coppermine FC-PGA chip...

The NEO S370 adapter will work fine for most single processor configurations. I really don't think PowerLeap ever intended this adapter to work in SMP configurations. Many BP6ers past and present, have used NEO S370 adapters for their BP6 SMP projects. Proving it is possible!

Several links in this FAQ about modifing the BP6 for Pentium III SMP.
