is this right? looks like from intels new charts that the chip does exist and it is in socket 370 design (100fsb). cdo stepping.

think it would work in my abit bx6 2?

Uhmm, really an interesting chip,
well, if your Mobo can handle 100 & 133Mhz of Fsb and multip of 10x, like I suppose, yes it works :D

well there is no 10 multiplier on my motherboard listed so i have no clue if it will work. someone has posted in the cpu data base a bx6 2 with a 1ghz p3 133 chip. since the intel chips are multiplier locked i think it might work.

i emailed abit to find out but im not sure if they will respond

Probably your Mobo can't detect properly the chip, but I suppose that works fine, well better wait for other reply to be really sure, aren't a joke 200$ ;)

yea ive been searching the web for other databases to see if more people have done it. in another database i found someone using a p3 933 on the bx6 2 board. i suppose what probably happens is that it just says intel cpu @1ghz instead of pentium 3 1ghz.

I think the same, even if the Bios can't detect properly the chip, under the OS it works absolutly like a 1Ghz chip!

I was asking sothing similar when I thinked to replace my C2 600 with a C2 900 or 1.1Ghz, my Mobo supports Multip. up to 16x and Fsb up to 200 but checking the Msi website, well, it seems to don't support cD0 chip, but it's only a stupid doubt! it must works coz the chip is the same it's only a different revision, but the instruction into the chip are the same! ;)
At the moment I'm waiting coz probably I've the way to replace not only my chip, but Mobo & Cpu for an Abit KG7-Raid, a nice TB1.4Ghz and 256Mb of Ddr, much better :D

the supported multiplyer on the motherboard is irrelavent with intel chips, they will run at the correct multiplyer regardless due to their being locked, worse case is that they will report the speed wrong but running wcpuid will show that it is running correctly.

thanks phil, i was waiting for someone to say that.
