Ok so their product has been out for a month now. Looks great I can get the new Tualerons on my Abit Bx6-2. I was planning to get a 1.2 and overclock it at 1.6.

What is the probability of a Tualeron 1.2 reaching 1.6? I read on some Japanese website that you can draw a trace between 2 pins to get 1.7 volts.

What is the chance of Abit releasing a new bios which can recognize these chips correctly? All they have to do is just add some chip ID's so it can be read correctly just to make it more cool ;) Perhaps someone can hack the Abit Bx6-2 bios...

As well, what is the probability of 133mhzFSB running reliably on an Abit Bx6-2 even with a 133mhz chip?

DOH! Sorry! Didnt realize that there was a thread with the same title. Still some of my questions reguarding Abit werent discussed there.

From what i understand, powerleap is not the way to go.
Voltage problems w P/L sloket, it runs under spec. and can
not be increased. For $30-$40 more you can get ST6 board.

No there are hacks for the adapter though that allow all vcores I guess. In the end if you are dead set on getting this chip I would go with the ST6 or GA-60XET-C. Either board will suit you well to hit 133fsb or close to it. You need a board that will allow 1/4 dividers under 133fsb. Both these boards do this apparently but I know for sure that the ST6 does so that would be my first reccomendation. You donl;t know gfor a fact that your chip will do 133fsb and if not then the 1/4 dividers are grand at 125~132fsb as your PCI would still be in spec. This has been discussed before. Do a search!

There is also a 1GHz and 1.1GHz celery coming out soon though too! a 1GHz celery at 150fsb would be ideal for gaming and also would be highly stable on the ST6!
