Best CPU Upgrade for BP6 motherboard

[Ren111]

Hi there, What would be the best CPU upgrade for my aging ABIT BP6 mobo. Either 2 slower cpu's or one fast cpu. What is the fastest cpu that the BP6 can Take in single CPU mode.

Thanks

Sky's the limit with NEO-S370's
P3 whatever

thats right ren with the powerleap.com 370 adapters,you can run most p3's in single or smp mode.

If you want to run P3's in SMP, make sure the cpu's are cB0 stepping or higher.

Thanks everyone, I'm just looking to buy 1 CPU. Is there any modifications I need to make in order for my socket 370 to accept the flip chips.

Thanks

Yes the neo s370 is also needed to have just one flipchip.

Am I the only one not smoking crack?

"Recently I tried every configuration possible to get these things cB0's working with SMP on the BP6. I tried different BP6 mobos, new Powerleap NEO S370 adapters, GeForce 256/Voodoo3 cards and PC133 memory - no luck whatsoever with dual PIII action."

But of course, this doesn't matter if you're only looking to run one processor.

Cheers.
