Question: Just what exactly is a Tutaulin(Sp?) P3?

KrK · Jul 30, 2001

Somehow I missed something. I'm aware there are these :"new" chips that are Tutaulin(sp) out there, but know nothing about what makes them different from a FCPGA P3 Chip, and so I have questions....

Do they require a different Pinout? Will they run on BX Boards? Is a "Coppermine-T" a Tutualin?

More importantly, can I run a Coppermine-T on my Abit BX6 2.0 with my FCPGA Iwill Slocket II?

Anyone with any info would be MUCH appreciated!
Thanks!

I'll have to dissapoint you: the tualatin won't work on your current PIII mobo...
that's because it uses a) different core voltage b) uses lower i/o voltage...
I think Coppermine-T is indeed the Tualatin (I shoudn't know what else it would be )

There is an adapter from powerleap called the Neo+ that will alow you to use a p3-T in almost any socket 370 board.

tell yah what
if you really want a detailed report on the Coppermine T, buy me one, ship it to me, and ill gladly post my results

If we get enough wrong answer to this, then one of the smart guys will come in and straighten us out.

This is how I remember the last description of this:

.The Tualatin is a .13 micron P3 with lower voltage requirements than the "old" P3. It's designed for server apps.

.The Coppermine-T is a .18 P3 with the same voltage requirements as the Tualatin. It's to be a step between P3 and Tualatin, and able to be used in Tualatin MBs.

.Tualatins won't work in an "old" P3 board.

.Coppermine-Ts will work in some "old" boards with BIOS updates (like some Abits), or slockets, or chicken bones and one-legged monkeys.

.Don't know if it'll work in your BX6 2.0 with a slocket.

Now, someone come in and grade me and tell me how well I did.

OK, well, here's a bunch of information, all nice and conflicting

The Info about the Coppermine-T is interesting. I'm not sure the voltage issue is such a big deal, I believe I can go all the way down to 1.3 volts on this board, and even if it's slightly "overvoltage" it shouldn't be fatal with a good cooling. I guess I will be finding out, since I just bought a Coppermine-T off a guy in the For/Sale area. I think it's all going to come down to the pinouts. Would kinda suck to have to buy ANOTHER Slocket, but ....

Anyone else with more info, it's appreciated

Like I said, I may be wrong. Hoping some of the big dogs take time to read and straighten us out.

BTW, the -T you're buying... is that from the guy who would only accept cash?

KrK · Jul 31, 2001

He said he wanted cash, but I told him I felt it was too risky, and got him to agree to a Postal Money Order, which he can cash at the Post Office.

Anyone know if it'll work on my p3v4x board?
(just curious - not really considering buying one)

outhouse · Aug 1, 2001

sorry but i dont have much to offer but i do know that you can put a Tualatin in a older MB like the Abit VH6-2 it does require a BIOS update to get her going though, Compuwife i'm not sure about your MB you will have to look and see what kind of a BIOS update your MB has if it does not have a T on the end or describe it as exactly for the Tualatin then i'm afraid your out of luck.

I believe your board maxes out at 800 or 1 gig. Depending on the bios. Mine was only supposed to be good for a gig, but had higer settings (newer board) for above the gig level.........does yours?

C'mon need definitive words here

funnyperson1 · Aug 2, 2001

well asus still claims that the p3v4x only runs up to 800mhz chips however it can support i g chips (people have done this), but i dont think that the coppermine-t will be supported (asus hasnt made a bios update since last october, adn that was a beta)...and the tualitin defninitely wont be supported

Isn't the tualatin supposed to have 512 KB of L2 on-die cache ? (something I read )

it comes in 2 flavors
(cookies and cream) 512kb of cache
(vanilla) 256kb of cache
