Hi

guys I have a board with two 1ghz cpus on it right now and I found two 1.4s at a good price, but I dont know if they will work on my board (since I cant find any documentation on it, odd model)
could I just try the tualatins on ? or is the risk of burning them too big due to the voltage difference ?
sorry for asking a pretty stupid question, but I really want those 1.4s and I dont know what to do

here is a link to the mobo, the description says 1ghz and up, also it says auto detect cpu voltage which kinda gives me some hope

the link to "manual" doesnt help, its sends me to the "manual directory" and there is no manual for this model over there


please let me know what you guys think


Thank you
Dan

It will not work. That board is based upon the VIA Apollo Pro 133A Chipser and doesn't support the Tualatin P3s or Celerons at all. If you want the two 1.4GHz cpus then look for a P3 board based on the VIA Apollo Pro 133T

It wont work... and i doubt the board will post. You would have to get an adapter or mod it yourself.

I used to have a 1.26 P3 tualatin that i used on a regular CUSL2-C which wasnt compatible with it... but i had to cut off 3 pins and wire a couple of pins together... it was rock solid after that. :)
