Bh6 and Pentium 200 Mhz MMX

[jushua]

Short question:
Will a Pention 200 Mhz MMX work in a BH6?

 

[Vegito]

No, BH6 is a slot based motherboard, P200mmx is a chip..

 

[pukemon]

Specifically, the Pentium 200MMX requires a Socket-7 motherboard. The Abit BH6 uses Slot-1 cpus (or Socket-370 with a slocket) which are/were the Pentium II/III and Celeron cpus.

 

[jsbush]

Just a question,

Did they ever invent or try to invent a slocket for socket 7 cpu's. Or it just wasn't worth it?

 

[Damascus]

I don't think the chipsets are compatible... or are they?

 

[AndyHui]

The chipsets are not compatible.

The P6 family (PPro, P2, P3, Celeron) use a completely different bus and voltage to the P5 family (Pentium, Pentium MMX).

A Pentium MMX 200MHz simply will not work in a BH6: wrong processor.
