I have a dell xprs450r pc. It uses a dell motherboard. I want to upgrade to a PIII 600 flip-chip on a ASUS slot converter. Can I use this combo on my Dell motherboard?
Will the voltage be to much for the PIII 600. The ASUS converter has voltage setting, will this help to reduce to voltage to run the PIII safetly?

the board will probably not be able to supply the correct voltage... dell uses intel motherboards and a lot of early intel mobos didn't follow their own specs... and the made new revisions... if you get a slotket w/ onboard regulators you should be able to do it... u can't get one that you can set but it just tells the mobo where to set it... also you might need a bios update.

my half pence.

Check what motherboard it is... if it is a Intel motherboard, the only BX board that will support PIII is SE440BX-2, and you will have to flash the BIOS for PIII support.....

Only the SE440BX2-V will support the "E" version of the PIII.

Revision numbers for those are:

719944-214 or later
754552-200 or later
754558-200 or later.
