I have checked and I have received conflicting info to the question. the bios is 1.2. I want the chip running at 133fsb.

I think you need the latest BIOS flash to run the newer P3 CU Mines, but hardware wise, it should be able to run the CPU.

The only thing to remember is the BE6-2 has no 1/2 AGP divider, so your AGP port will be running out of its 66Mhz normal spec.

Chances are your AGP will be ok, but there a few AGP graphics cards out there which dont like running even 1 or 2 Mhz out of spec.

i guess i am one of those people since i have a 3d prophet which hates 133 mhz bus, will run and all but when you get into something that requires a little bit of graphics, it freezes.

i'm running my 600e at 133 on my be6-II and on bootup it says i have an 800eb. I have a Guillemot xentor32 that doesn't seem to mind the higher agp speed.
 

Hrmm your having problems with your 3d Prophet at a higher AGP bus speed?
I have a 3d Prophet geforce 256srd, when I try and boot at 133fsb, it wont post.
Sound familiar?
