HiWith the BX6R2 what is the maximum cpu we can put in it? I want to buy a Celeron 1100Mhz or a P3 1000Mhz (133MhzFSB). And a P3 1000(100FSB) if I absolutely must! I know this board is suppose to handle FSB of 133mhz but can it do it 100% stable?
I have a P3-1000 (133Mhz FSB CPU) Should I Buy a SlotKet and try it out? Lets talk back to Celeron 1100mhz. A clock multiplier of 11...will the BX6R2 chuck a spase and refuse the chip?

it doesn't seem very stable up over 100FSB
with regards to the PCI and AGP.
So I'm not very sure with the PIII's@133FSB
(anyone with an actual PIII wanna say anything?)I currently have one of the newer 800MHZ celerons in my BX6Rev2 (with a Slotket!!!), and its running @ 8x117MHZ = 936Mhz very stable. Anything higher, and it seems like my vid card is unhappy, not the CPU. Now, according to this post in the forum
http://fae.abit.com.tw/eng/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=7&t=000024 the CPU multiplier overrides the 9x multiplier limit on the BIOS. Therefore, if the new celeron line is using the same core design as the current 800,850 and 900MHZ celeron's, it should take up to a Celeron 1.1GHZ.

Hello Thanks for the info! I am beginning to think that the BX6R2 will not work stably at 133mhz fsb(I hear some can do it no probs?).. so it will seem that I will go Celeron 1100mhz. But I've heard about them microcode and stepping of cpu's. So I've read somewhere that the bx6r2 bios QR will accept stepping of coppermine up to cC0. What would happened if i got the new cD0 stepping celeron coppermines? Would it even boot? Hey could you please check which stepping you have for your c800? SL4TF C0 128 0686h 800/100 FC-PGA 4, 5
SL45R C0 128 0686h 800/100 FC-PGA 2, 4, 5
SL54P D0 128 068Ah 800/100 FC-PGA 4, 8
SL5EB D0 128 068Ah 800/100 FC-PGA 2, 4, 8
SL5LX D0 128 068Ah 900/100 FC-PGA 4, 9
SL5MQ D0 128 068Ah 900/100 FC-PGA 2, 4, 9 As we can see >900mhz celerons only have stepping cD0. I currently have a p3-500 katmai..and it doesn't like the 117mhz fsb at all...unless i disable the l2 cache it runs fine!! But thats no good! So how does a Celeron 800 par with the p3? From the benchmarks its like a 200mhz disadvantage to p3's? So how does it perform when they are overclocked? Which p3 does your celeron 936 match?

Hey Cool.....
Benchmarks!!!
Hey have u ever used a pIII of same speed? Because I have noticed on the internet that the celeron performs really poorly on games and application software. It only performs like a -200mhz p3 in games and software. So is that noticable to you?
I am looking for the pages on the internet with them 850mhz celeron II(well overlocked fom 566) benchmarks but cannot find them. When I find them I post them here! =) Oh by the way what video card do u have?
It wont run at 124mhz fsb? I dont think I will have any luck running mine at 133mhz
at a 88mhz agp speed hahahaha. Has anyone tried the new cD0 stepping on these bx6r2's? wait for me to get them sites!!

Heyfanks for them benchmarks!! hehehe sounds like power to me!! ahhah Its similiar to your friends Athlon because ..you too are running the Geforce2 MX. I think it is a -200mhz disadvantage to P3 (running CPU dependant programs well heavy programs like office 2000 and quake3). Well Looking at the price...its a Australian$200 advantage! heheh. Somehow I see shops with Celeron 1100mhz pricing however intel hasn't even officially announced their existence! thankyou all for helping me out! =)

I have a Be6-II 2.0 RAID motherboard. HPT370 RAID
I fucked up and need to reflash the bios but whenever i try flashing with *zx binary, it says i have no award bios and thats strange when i have award..Anyone got a idea? This motherboard works great with Celeron 1,1Ghz 100Mhz/x11
Some bootup can happen, but press reset on the computer and it boots up. RAZOR

Woo hoo! Sitting in my BX6r2 board is a 1.0GHz Celly slocketed in an Asus 370-DL (you just can't find those Abit Slotket!!!s anymore). On top of it I have a ThermalTake Volcano 6CU+ heatsink and fan (overkill, I know). Hmmm that heatsink is resting right on top of the heatsink on the BX chipset....Now if there were a way to get it to show up as something other than a Pentium III at ;18MHz at the post screen... Actually I set the FSB to 112 and WCPUID is showing the CPU as 1100+. I'm running it in Win98SE and so far it is extremely stable! I tried a couple of hours of Counter-strike, and the fps is the highest I've ever seen, considering I have a V550 16MB tnt card in the machine. I'm running benchmarks and stability tests for the next 24-48 hrs and will post the results soon. I originally tried it 133FSB, but Win98SE refused to boot. Will try 124FSB when I get a chance. Btw: I looked for a 9x multiplier in the BIOS but I see none. I do have the latest BIOS flash, and I've heard reports that this multiplier exists. Dannyai, I hope you will post that link ASAP!!!  I love this board... [ November 09, 2001: Message edited by: aabutin ]

My bad!I have 2 of these boards and I THOUGHT I had flashed them to the most recent updates, but I was wrong. One was still in HK and the other was MW. Well, the QR bios is now running on both and that auto-detect works. Both are registering Celly 1GHz@1120 during post. However I had one casualty during all of this...it seemed that one of the fan headers went out on one of my boards. Perhaps the ThermalTake Volcano 6 CU+ shorted it out. Well, I have both cpu fans now drawing directly from the power supply to be safe. I do have another nagging issue on one of the boards. Everytime I unhook the power supply, the CMOS resets to defaults. Is this the sign of a dead battery? Hmmmm... The Celeron 1GHz CPUs:
System1: 3129A477-0450 SL5XT COSTA RICA
System2: 3129A477-0480 SL5XT COSTA RICA 3DMark2k scores jumped at least 1000 points from the originals (300@450), considering I have 16MB TNT cards sitting in both systems. Benchmark screens forthcoming. Thanks Abit.
