Do the BH6 Rev. 1.00, 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, etc. and up (BUT NOT 1.1 and above) boards and the BX6 Rev 1.00, 1.01, 1.02, etc. (BUT NOT BX6 Rev 2.0) boards support Coppermine CPUs?


No, the BH6 Rev. 1.00, 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, etc. and up (BUT NOT 1.1 and above) boards and the BX6 Rev 1.00, 1.01, 1.02, etc. (BUT NOT BX6 Rev 2.0) do not support Coppermine CPUs due to the native design of power for the CPU core voltage probably not being sufficient. So to avoid instability, we advise that the afore mentioned boards do not support Coppermine CPUs.

They sure as heck do! Pre 1.1 boards do not have a 1/4 PCI divisor, so you are limited to a 100 FSB model. You can use any PIII or Celeron up to 1.1 Gig. The 1.1 boads do have the 1/4 PCI so you can use a 133 FSB PIII also, as long as your video card can deal with an overspec AGP clock. Be sure you have BIOS SS for rev 1.0x boards or SP for 1.1 and higher.
