asus p2b and a 1.2gig celeron II?

[SaT985]

first off i'll say i'm not exactly sure which particular revision of the board i've got. I've got two boards, 1 has 3 ram slots, 1 has 4, they both have 133 jumpers so from what i hear it should run p3's. I've ran a katmai in it an it showed it was a p3. But awhile back i heard that the p2b can only do 800mhz. I'm thinkin bout pickin up a 1.2gig celery2 for fun, they're only $100 or so and i've got everything to put together a box. First off what would i need for a cooler, been amd lately, not sure what the celery's use. I know i'll need a slocket, not a problem i can grab one of those.


Here's what i wanna do though, i wanna run the 1200/100fsb chip at 1596/133....now with a slocket i can adjust the voltage so i won't need to do a vmod or anything like the newer 815 chipsets....anyway is the board capable of doing 1600?

not every Mobo support Tulatin Chips, only a few do. So, you'd better check what Mobo you have and make sure it supports Tulatin CPUs.

[funnyperson1]

there is only ONE slocket that can be used with the Tualatin Cellys and that is the Powerleap if youre decent at soldering this can be a good upgrade choice....other than that a 1.1 PIII is a good choice at 135$...

Yes only one adapter will support the Tualatin and its the PowerLeap.

Take my recommendation its not good to get it because it has low voltage which are unchangable to my knowledge so you'll barely even hit 1400 or 1450.


Best to get a new mobo and the tualatin chip itself.

The mentioned Powerleap Adapter with cely 1.2 is unfort. def. NOT working for your P2B... Max (I had also had P2B; and went finally way new board + cely 1.2+fsb change)

ya mabe it'll be a new 1gig chip then i suppose, well thnx 4 the help:)

I too have a P2B, and I like the board.

It has FSB settings clear to 150. So I wonder ... will an 800 MHz Celeron (8.0 x 100 MHz FSB) survive a FSB set to 133 or even 150?

I eagerly await replies.

If it doesn't have 1/4 dividers then it won't go very far.

133 is probably the max you can probably go.

At 133fsb is kind of risky since your PCI spec is 44 and HDD data corruption starts at 41+ PCI spec.

At 150 you won't be able to go definte.

I wouldn't go above 133 fsb without 1/4+ dividers.

Okay - now I'm confused (I know - an easy task ;) ).

The manual for the board shows the FSB jumpers pulling double duty, and also setting the PCI speed. There are two settings for FSB 133, one with PCI at 33.3 the other with PCI at 44.33. The 150 FSB setting shows PCI at 37.5.

I'm not trying to be a pain - I'm really trying to understand. Please help me out.
