So Far So Good: 1.4GHz Tualatin on a BP6

Post by **Derek** » Wed Apr 02, 2003 10:16 am

"yoshihiro" has successfully installed and is running one Celeron Tualatin (FC-PGA2) 1.4GHz processor on his BP6 motherboard without any soldering!

See his Album for pictures:

See his post for more details:

Hopefully we will have the same success with Pentium3 Tualatin processors.

Amazing!

What other mainboard has gone from original Celeron to Tualatin Celeron?

Anyone know?

Stupid 5 volt AGP slot....

I'm running 3.3volt spec cards fine. I don't know why there is this AGP spec discrepancy with the BP6.

Yes, I think it's safe only because I've run every card imaginable in this machine. I think we should all do some research into this topic. Maybe everyone could post what video card they are running in their BP6(s)?

In this thread or should we start a new post under Video?

What thread would be best for that? Software?

Yes, software.

Celeron II's will NOT SMP.

A few BP6ers are currently working on - trying to get dual Tualation CPU processors to function on the BP6.

No word, yet...

Perhaps we could rename this site “www.Celeron II's will NOT SMP.com”

Then nobody would post here at all.

I got the s370 and lin-lin adapter off ebay. Post office says they delivered the Lin-Lin last Friday but its no where to be found! GRRR So I gotta buy another one dammit. Anyhow someone mentioned finding a good video card for BP6. I ran Voodoo5 5500, Radeon 7000, and currently Radeon 9700 Pro with no problems at all! I didn't know anything about the agp voltage problem.. ?/?/?/?

I have uploaded some Sandra benchmarks screenshots in my picture gallery. I don't have idea of what benchmarks to do (because I use mainly linux). Suggestions are welcome

Yoshiro,

In anticipation of me following your success I have loaded the roby bios and went in to see if multiplier goes past 8. Well it doesn't...is this because I still have my cele's installed? Also if you wouldn't mind could you list your CPU settings in the bios including the voltages.., or even better a screen shot.

Thanks

Todd

The multiplier in the BIOS is completely irrelevant. The CPU sets this setting regardless of what’s listed in the BIOS.
