neo + dual p3 700 help!

Post by woyteck »

Hi!
I bought two neo370 and two p3 700/100 with stepping cB0 and SL45Y series.
I did the PowerLeap MOD's. And tried to start bp6 in smp mode. No post.
Single proc either in socket 1 or 2 is working on fsb 100 stable.

DO I have to do Yoitchiro mods to start it with SMP mode?

Can anyone tell me if these p3's are good for bp6 smp?
I have 2x p3 700/100 SL45Y cB0
I can buy 2x p3 800/100 SL4CE cC0

Is the ECC ram required for p3 smp? Celerons run fine with normal SDRAMs.

dual 700's

Those PIII's should work just fine.

However, using PIII's on a BP6 is a bit of a crap-shoot. Sometimes it works and some times it don't!

I have been very lucky, Dual PIII 1100E's @ 110 mhz fsb.

I do have another board that won't do squat with dual PIII's but loves my 366's @ 110 (605 mhz).

You will at a minimum have to change out EC10 and the regulator.

Active cooling on the BX chip set is a MUST! I cannot stress this enough!

What version BP6 do you have? Are there plastic arms on the ZIF sockets or metal?

I will try to help if I can.

Regards,

Well, I have 3 BP6's. one hanging and two working. All mobo's are V0.41 and have metal arms on ZIF socket. I also have EC10 modified to 2200 microF 10V.
I bought today 1500 microF 6,3V, 1000 microF 10V and regulator LM338T.

I have blue zalman radiator for chipsets.
