BX and cD0 cpus

[FrankMasterFlash]

Will it work? I have the Asus P3B-F. I have the latest beta Bios from the FTP site. 1008 beta 002. 05/04/2001. The site containe no info about what this new bios does.
I know that very few people own this board but I am hoping that someone out of the 8000 members we have here will help. Thanks.

yeah, as long as it can run a cpu at 133mhz and can handle a P3 cpu that high(i bet it can) then you should be fine.

Naw man someone told me, that I need to get a VIA 133 set, there are better AGP dividers than the BX chipset, and now I KNOW from EXPERIENCE, that these cDo cpus do NOT stop untill the PCI/AGP is maxed out. I have my at 168 FSB at 1.75 V stable, I have a ABIT VH6-II, and TONICOM PC166 ram, the TNT2 card I have is not doing well as you could imagine, but nevertheless this processor is the sh!t, the only thing holdin me back is the AGP/PCI buses outta spec!!!

I think the BX do not have that one divider for the AGP PCI, the one you can use to get higher bus speeds stable, I am not sure, but I upgraded from my BE6-2m to this VH6-II and I am happy........

@Johnny
get a Geforce Card and you'll be able to run higher. Geforce cards are more stable at high AGP bus speeds than TNT2 cards.
