Can CC0 and CB0 stay in VP6 board together?

as the title said, does it make sense? coz they are using different Voltage. and idea how to make them stay in one board!

I'm not saying that it's impossible, but it is not recomended, and I think even intel doesn't recomend using disimillar cpu's. but hey, they also said celerons couldn't be used in smp rigs either...The worst that could happen is you could loose data, and maybe marginal peripherals.
BTW, if you decide to go for it, I think peeps here would be interested in your experience either way...good or bad

Lightning, ask the moderator, Tim. He knows well about the dual cpus

what the hell.... how did i get that name?? I need to work on this.

I don't know about the different CPU's but I believe that the Abit board only has one voltage selector so whatever one is both are...
I can't believe how bad my memory is I was only looking at buying one of these boards earlier in the week...
Don't quote me but I think you may be able to use different CPU's

There are problems with doing this. The MB reads the VID pins on the cpus and selects the Vcore accordingly. Since it is a "logical and" function, it sums them togther in the case of a cb0 and a cc0 and gives a Vcore setting of 1.3v- obviously not good.

Without modification to the MB or cc0 chip it won't work properly. Even with modification, one chip is going to see more dissipation than the other.

Best to stay with similar steppings as per Intel's recommendations.
