Mendocino or Coppermine?

[mateo]

A friend sent me his Celly 500 pulled from an OEM system (he upgraded to an 800 Coppermine P3). I want to set up a BP6 system with stuff I might get from eBay, but BP6s only accept Mendocinos in SMP. I can't tell which this is, though I suspect it to be Mendocino. Here's a pic:

The code on the bottom is SL3FY

Never mind, I found Intel's spec finder

It's a mendocino. Coppermine processors are green.

Had thought so, cuz I have a low-end P3 system around here somewhere, but wasn't sure. I need to brush up on my legacy stuff :)

i had a bp6 for a few years then it died :( great board but quirky.

Dont forget you will need matched CPU's for that bp6.
