FC-PGA to PPGA Adapter.

[The Master]

I'm trying to find an adapter for my Cel2 800 (100).
I know there exists the Powerleap NEO S370.
But I am looking for other ones.
My mobo is a Bp6 with dual cel500@600, now I was thinking to use a single cel2 800 (100).

I think the Powerleap is the only one worth getting. If not the only one period.

I take it you want to OC that 800 if you get it. My recommendation is, even though that BP-6 is a great board, and hard to let go, sell it. Sell it with those 500's and buy yourself a nice Abit or Asus board and an 800.

You would be stepping up to faster memory bus, 4x AGP, ATA-100 support. and better overclocking options than that BP-6 can offer. Besides, even if you get two 800's and two powerleaps, Celerons above 533 aren't SMP capable.

Trust me, I know how much you probably love that BP-6 ***King reaches over and pets his BP-6*** it's time to let go. The circle of life has run it's course.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Not my Bp6!!!!!
It's not it's time yet!!!!!!!! ;)

No, but seriosly...
I wasn't thinking of getting dual cel2's only one CPU.
But well, I think you are right.
The time of UDMA66 and AGP X2 is probobly over...

I just upgraded from a BP6 and I'll never even consider going back, my current setup blows that one away.

I still only use UDMA66 and AGP2x, but those damn Highpoint controllers really bite the big one. Used to get 100+ undewriting errors making CDs, now I might get 1.

It served its purpose, but now with prices dropping daily, it should be as good a time as any to upgrade.

Also, all my benchmarks (but my memory) increased dramtically (say 30% plus!). Gaming is insanely smooth.

I use the powerleap adapter on my BP6 and it works great, and its the only adapter i've found for PPGA to FCPGA. As for the BP6 i have had no Highpoint problems or any problems with that board even when writing CD's...I love it

I don't mean to be rude here but, did you use the standard drivers that came with the mobo (the driver disk)?
If you did, you're a real dumb-ass. The old ones always caused buffer underrun errors and even lock up the comp entirely. With the new drivers, it works exellent.

[deez]

even with the standard drivers (v1.22 i think) i never had any problems, although i have heard of a few problems. If you download the newest RU bios from abit they also have the updated highpoint drivers included

Hang on to that Bp6, in the near future its very possible you may be able to run Dual Tualatins on it.. so hanggggg onnnn to that baby!
