Have you tried http://www.icetec-uk.com/ ? They're in the UK, might be better for you. Apparently they have/will have 274w TECs.

Just as a FYI, you have "System BIOS Cacheable," "Video BIOS Cacheable" and "Video RAM Cacheable" set to enabled in the chipset section of your BIOS. It's better to set those to DISABLED as those are vestigial remnants from the old days and you get no performance boost. All that having those settings enabled is doing, is decreasing the amount of base memory addressing available for things that need it. The Flash ROM used on newer video cards is faster than the system ROM anyway, so you might even be getting a performance decrease by shadowing. (unless you play a lot of old DOS games that don't directly access the graphics processor).

(It can actually mess up the vid card BIOS if you flash it while its BIOS is being cached - This occurs because newer system and vid card BIOSes are now larger, so it's possible that the complete BIOS doesn't get shadowed, only part of it, typically the first 32KB. This results in a flash writing to the first 32KB in memory and the remainder to the actual video BIOS = bad flash).

so let me get this right

Tualatin P3 ->
Upgradeware G370 (convert FCPGA2 -> FCPGA) ->
Powerleap Neo S370 (convert FCPGA -> PPGA) ->
BP6

HOLY!
so you still can't get dual processors working?
what mods have you made to the bp6?

BCN · Post by **BCN** » Wed May 12, 2004 7:54 am

Yeah, you got it right

Just on top of them a powerleap HSF without any mods sitting fit

BP6 has no mods whatsoever yet...

did not have enough time yet.

without mods it works 100% stable at 66FSB with 1 PIII-S. with 2 of them it would not post.

After just cutting the track on both powerleap Neo S370 it POSTs with 2 CPUs - BIOS sees them but nothing stable - it crashes when loading OSes.

It boots at 124FSB with 1 CPU but not stable.

It boots even at 133FSB but there I think BX craps out, cause I just do not get any signal from the video card, though keyboard is not locked and I get that peep on POST.

I have never soldered in my life but plan to do so rather soon

here I attach 124FSB POST
