Yeah, that is a good idea, though i have been thinking about salvaging the clips from older heatsinks and to try and hook one onto other and bending their ends... well, I still need to lok at them closer.

Thanks.

Assuming that BCN has success with the double adapter and a Tualatin core P-III, the next question I have is whether these .13 micron chips are less power-hungry that all the older ones? BTW, I don't recall what the solution to the lower limit on the BP6's voltage to the CPU issue. If the Upgradewa...

Ok, thanks, for correction! i did not know that. Though Abit BP6 manual states that it recognizes 32Mx64 chips...

Anyway, crucial always has the memory modules with 16 chips :) I mean you just need to select Abit->BP6 and here you have it! :)

so buy it and try it, man! :)

But don't get surprized if it does not work in SMP, cause it won't! :)

in single mode maybe, but you would have to use some adapters for sure. If they tell it is compatibel with older borads so they refer to FCPGA boards I think, cause this is FCPGA2 (Tualatin) chip :)

I think it is just GF2MX+BP6 problem.

Does it crash on AGP 2x?

Does it crash the same or less on AGP 1x?

How big powersupply do you have - though I think it is of por powersupply to AGP port and need modding... - I will have it too.

Bad caps? also could be... :)

No FCPGA CPUs faster than 1100Mhz have been reported. As I said, if a spec says FCPGA/1.3GHz (1.266 actual) it's most likely an FCPGA2 Tualatin core CPU - NOT-COMPATIBLE with BP6 using any known adapaters. The fact that any 100MHz FSB Tualatin CPUs exist surprises me. Maybe a Neo370 combined with a...

http://www.digit-life.com/articles/tualatinsmp/ It seems that only the first runs of the Tualatin core were UP-only.

Wow, I'm not the only one to see this! If we could zero in on which of a BP6's dual CPUs is the cause of each crash, probably most CPU initiated BP6 system crashes are always being triggered by only one of the two CPUs. This is another good reason to go for the SINGLE P-III/1100E processor upgrade ...

There is something fishey with this link. The header says it is a Tualatin (.13 micron) series CPU & the 1.3Ghz is consistent with the actual 1.26GHz FCPGA2 chip of that type. But the text says .18 micron process, & then calls this Intel's "latetest" manufacturing process - NOT!! I think some lazy ...

the point is if you use the memory module with ships with higher density than 32Mx64 or more than 128MB per bank - the memory will not be recognized correctly :) that's also from my experience when I followed the manual as from the above post. It is not written anywhere that is supports only 128Mb p...
