Tualatin

[@crilicM@n]

Hello masters of you submiss hardware! Lets keeeeeeeeeepon clocking!!! :-) I came here to ask you what do you know about the tualatin working with our older via and Bx mobos?!!!! Have anyone heard anything??? I´d love to see my pc stick some more time with a new processor, rejuvenescente! Viva! Would be cool migrate from 25 micron to 18 and than to 13 micron!!!!! with the same computer, the same way: waiting the exact processor price to fall, and grab it and overclock it to a place they never been sold he he!!! 8)

Wont work as is.
Some company is working on a adapter so they will work.
There is a story on the main page about it says its expected to be $85-90 and available in 3-4 months.
You can buy a abit vh6t mobo now for $87 that will work.

Hmmm that way it definetly isn´t worth... I´ve heard here in Br rumors about it working in older mobos with a chipset thath could provide 1,3-1,7v of vcore... Just a1/1000000 hope :-( ? They definetly want us to buy new motherboards... Hmmm :-0

[Placid]

Yes new motherboards.
Abit already has 2 the st6 and the vh6t.
Both have what they are calling fc-pga2 sockets.

Of course intel b$%& guys would change again some pins function as they did with the ppga to fcpga... Hmmm *******s. :-]

Will BE6-IIV2.0 support it?

I posted a possible explanation for the BX rumors in the thread below. Just my guess though...might not be the case.

Giga-byte have also relaesed a board, the
GA-6OXET, i think they call it,....the socket they use is what they have called the Universal Socket, can use both the current PIII's and the new PIII's interesting....

I believe Powerleap is working on a slot converter for the PIII "T" , but it's sketchy if it will work on BX boards, It should work on 815 boards though.
Although there is only one slot one 815 board in the market, and they are very expencive, and hard to find.

Yes, that was what I´ve heard about in Bra\ilian sites, that some bx boards that could provide 1,3v could run them... I´m praying to the possibility of a not expensive converter slotcket for my ageing apollopro 133 board (6vba133)... I think a tualatin pIII with bigger l2 than my litle cely2 would improove the cpu power here hehe, since it has a bigger l2 the cpu miss less clocks seeking in the ram, exactly the weak point of my older via mobo... slower memory thansfers.... I´m expecting this week for the arriving of a micro bga ram tonicom expected to 160 fsb... I would laght a lot with the possibility of a pIIIT 100mhz fsb in my hand going up to 150mhz fsb he he! Wou wouldn´t... That´s exactly my Philosophy: The more mhz for the lower price and long live to my pc (the pc´s here in Brazil are expensive... Im my univ. classmates, from 68 students I thynk just half should have a pc at home...:-o and much less % in the whole country...) I don´t have the cash to buy the last piece of hardware that the market trows in... That´s why I should be happy with a pIII T adapter with good price... Well, hope is the last thing to die....

PS: Bx boards would have a big deal whith pIII ! agp 4x is not a big matter more than2x.... And ata100 even less from ata66.... (our ide hd´s are just arround 33mb/s of sustained data transfering... I thynk ata66 is still ok.... What matter is if it is at least a 7200rpm Hd rather than 5400 :-P... With a reasonably good memory transfe rate, the Bx would have again a "revigoration"...
