Hi! It's my first post in this forum!

I had success running a celeron tualatin in my BP6. It's a dirty hack, but it works. I'm conecting a "Lin Lin" FCPGA-FCPGA2 adapter (found at ebay) on top of a neo s370 Powerleap adapter, using a 1.4Ghz tualatin processor.

I will take more photos today (boot screen, cpuinfo), but there are some photos in www.miurasan.org/tualatin already.

sorry for the bad english :)

WHOA!

You may the first to accomplish this endeavour! Stacking a FC-PGA2-to-FC-PGA adapter onto the PowerLeap Neo S370 adapter with a Tualatin processor on top!

WOW!

Those have got to be the most impressive pictures I've ever seen :D It's like looking at an ice-cream sandwich made with processors!

yoshihiro: Why don't you upload those pictures to you personal gallery at BP6.Com to save yourself some bandwidth?
http://www.bp6.com/board/album.php
Click on "Your Personal Gallery" and you can upload the pictures there.

I'll be looking forward to some WinCPUID screenshots and other benchmarks.

Edit: Someone get that man a Pentium3; STAT! :biglaugh:

Derek, Thank you!

I will upload the pictures to personal gallery, but first I need to take some more photos (and better quality ones)
About benchmarks: I use linux full time, I will see what I can do :)

yoshihiro, great news - I too have a pair the cheap $13 adapters currently selling on EBay. I just won an auction for Dual P-III/s 1.266GHz/512K Tualatin CPUs & they were shipped today. I'm also going to test them piled with the new adapter stacked on top of the Neo370.
The documentation was very weak on these as to the different jumper combos according to whether your M-B socket starts out as a PPGA or as an FCPGA. What jumper settings did you use? If I can get one Tualatin to boot like you did, I'll try to go for a Dual P-III Tualatin boot.
Do you think that the BP6 wire soldering & Neo370 trace cutting is really needed with these new adapters added?

If you start running dual CPUs with all those adapters you're probably going to have to pump up the power going to the sockets in order to them running.

Heh, not to mention you’ll be sucking the BX northbridge dry :)

RRLedford, I'm using the settings listed as "old intel chipset" (jumpers on A5/A6 and B8/B9).
My BP6 doesn't have any mods installed and I'm running in single mode only, because tualatin celerons doesn't allow SMP.
I don't know if it's possible to run a dual P3 tualatin on a BP6. :)

Hi!

Derek, I will install Windows in my machine in this weekend (actually I'm running only Linux). What kind of benchmark program do you suggest?

There are quite a few things we can do, but first we'll test stability. Post back when you're up and running.

Do we know who makes these? If the are good for SMP? Also can you stack two of them instead of using the powerleap adaptor?

I wouldn't mind have dual 1.4's in my webserver ;)

BP6.Com may start selling the required adapters in the near future. I'll make an announcement when I receive more details.

You can find these adaptors at www.evertek.com, although I have found mine at Ebay.

HAL6000, the skimpy documentation for these adapters implies that there is a mode that can be established with the jumpers that either gives PPGA-to-FCPGA2 -OR- PPGA-to-FCPGA1 mode (in addition to the FCPGA1-to-FCPGA2 mode). But no mention of what degree of SMP support they might offer for the BP6. I'm waiting for my two P-III/1.266GHz Tualatin CPUs to arrive any day now. I think it will take a lot of fooling around to see just how good these adapters can be.

Wow they are cheaper on there when I found on ebay. I may have to buy a lot of 20 and sell the ones I don't need ;)

Well, I can't go highter than 14*110=1540MHz.
At 124 the system aparently posts, but no video. Already tried to change the video board to a Radeon 9000, but without success :(

Linux benchmark

Post by nicklogan »

When you boot the system try to note the "bogomips" value that appears to use as a rough comparison between this setup and and the dual celeron systems. Both my systems with celerons runing over 500 Mhz show a little over 2000 bogomips. I'd be curious how much of an increase running one 1.4 Mhz Tualatin gives.

For those wondering, "bogomips":
Dictionary.Com wrote:bogomips

<unit> (From "bogus", "MIPS") The timing unit of the Linux
kernel.

A BogoMips is an unscientific measurement of processor speed
made by the Linux kernel when it boots, to calibrate an
internal busy-loop.

As Derek said, the number of bogomips doesn't indicate the performance of the machine, but just in case, actually my machine is showing about 3073.63 bogomips. My BP6 with 2 celerons 366@550 showed about 2200 bogomips.
Just to compare, with 2 celerons at 550, the conversion of an DivX to MPEG using transcode goes at 11 fps. With the tualeron at 1540, I've got 25 fps :)
