ASUS P2B and P3's .... ?

[Noid]

Anyone got a P3 700 or higher in thier P2B system... ?

I owned a P2B-F and a P2B-LS. Two of the best boards I have ever had the pleasure of using.

Thanks for Link Andy ... I havent spoke to you in awhile ...
(seems only when ancient history is involved )

Anyway ... I think it's a ..... P2B v1.02 .. and BIOS 1012

(But I didn't see it myself)

But ,,, the 1.02 manual says the P3 slocket is needed (has P2 300 now)

And ,,, we upped the FSB to 133 temporarily,,, (but OS corrupted (XP) with the P2 300 in it (EI: upped it to 333chip)
(was trying the SDR133 ECC I'm selling in FS forum)

The multipliers changed OK with the P2 300.

But the P3 700 is Locked ... correct >..? (can't remember)

Think the P3 700 will be OK with the proper sloket?

Used to have a P2B and a 800MHz chip OC'd to 960. worked purdy Schweet.

Used a 100FSB CPU with a slocket to override the voltages. OC'd the FSB then to 124 (couldn't reach 133) As I said, it worked very well at the time.

Where did you get your slocket at ... ?
Or ,,, what was the model ...? Do you remember ..?

Very encouraging ... thx !

It was an Iwill Slocket III if I recall correctly.

You may be able to run a Tually Celeron 1.4 Ghz using an Upgradeware Slot-T Slocket.

Have a P3-850 using an Asus slocket card on my old 1.02 P2B board. Still works very well even for games using a GF3 card. The rev 1.02 boards don't support core voltages under 1.8V, even if the slocket card does. That's not a big deal for P3's that use core voltages of around 1.7V or so.

The fastest P3's (coppermines) using a 100fsb are the 1.0GHz and 1.1GHz models, but they're both oem. The fastest boxed one using a 100fsb is the 850MHz. The 1.1GHz cpu isn't supported by any bios updates thusfar, and the current one is 1014beta3. So the 1.0GHz chip is the fastest one so use..... unless you consider these newer slocket cards that support the Tualatin cores. However, with a rev 1.02 board supporting only down to 1.8V, that's a hefty voltage increase for tualatin cores using around 1.5V or so.

great info ... thx

Lots of different P2B mobos were made. According to Upgradeware, here is what can be used with the Slot-T and a Tually CPU

Old Fart ,,, I saw that also ...

So ,, according to that list,,, the MB my friend has isnt listed. (P2B 1.02 - (not P2B-B 1.02) )

That's why I was checking this forum.

I have intoduced him to overclocking. And ,, over the weekend he has sightly bumped the FSB to 102 by jumper.
(chip or other components holding him back)

I have given him memtest86 and Prime95 to play with for next week.

I have a P3-700 that I want to get rid of, (cB0 stepper), but was unsure if a Slocket upgrade would accomodate it.

(the 700 oc'd to 900+ in my CUSL2, so I know it will handle the extra voltage. And I have a PEP66 that would fit his slocket for that extra cooling. )

I got a P2B which I am selling to another family(at cost) running a Tualatin 1.1 Celeron using a MSI slocket and the $7.00
adapter from computergeeks. Runs great! I did flash the BIOS to their latest beta one that is available on their web site.
