!!!!!!!!!Hey funnyperson read this ASAP before you order the 1100 PIII!!!!!!

[ol' man]

Ahhh.....I see now. I rma'd my Celeratin thinking the chip was dead when it wouldn't boot in my BD133u. Microxpress apparently took my word for because they sent me a new chip (or did a fantastic job of cleaning ASII out of the little hole) Why does it work fine in the BD133u now? While I was waiting for the rma I flashed the new bios (not from the Iwill site) but I didn't have a list of the changes.....after reading this thread I go to the Iwill site and, yep "support for new Celerons" is the only thing it changed. Why did I fash for the heck of it? Boredom and the fact that I was about two days away from recieving my Tusl2-c. Yes boys and girls I rma'd a perfectly good chip because Iwill put out a board that only supported the 133fsb Tualatin. The Iwill was one of the first "Tualatin" boards released and at that time Intel was probably still trying to decide how they were going to market the .13 P3 core. Oh well, it's all good now.

Is this the bios you used to flash your bd133u. It is new and they just put it up I guess.

BD133u for Product No is 32015 ,BIOS Date Code: Oct.26.2001

Here is the link for the new bios.

As you saw above the guy used this bios and found his chip worked after that. It didn;t work before that though kinda like your problem.

yup man, this is in fact the same bios that Newbie_Doo helped me flash....1026 (october 26th) and it still was a no go...i may try reflashing it after i order the PIII but, i am pretty sure, and i double-checked this, but i flashed that exact bios....

thanks a lot though:p ....i agree with Pinky....
