P3 Tualatin backward compatiblity?

[DS]

Can the new P3 Tu be used on boards that were designed for the P3 Cu processor? Any modifications necessary?
I'd like to run dual Tu's on my VP6.

first of all, welcome to the forums

and the answer is you can buy the powerleap slockets as the are the only Tualatin Compatible slockets....or you can try to modify a normal socket in the way shown here...its kind pf iffy

there is nothing you can do to that mobo to make the tA1 chips work...sorry I don't think anyone has designed a dual board for the tuallies, but I may be wrong about that...

 

[ol' man]

The mods do not like the via boards but you can use the slot adapters as they are set for SMP.

There are actually a few dual boards that run the tualatins, but they aren't overclocking friendly. Tyan and Supermicro make a few.
