Wait, so is fxsts wrong?

I hope not cause I have a board that accepts Coppermines up to 600, but would luv to see this work!

Intel Anahiem2 aka Emachine junker
 
Well I ordered a few. Unfortunately after looking over the site a little I found that it says "Call for availability" and also a 1.1 celery above it in the list is selling for $89 so... We can all hope... Also the cheapest FC-PGA2 Retail Celery on PW is $75

On another note I found this:

""
Q: What is the difference between fc-pga and fc-pga2?
A: Often "Tualatin" processors are referred to as fc-pga2 processors and "Coppermine" cpus as fc-pga processors. This is just plain wrong. The difference between fc-pga and fc-pga2 is just the packaging, the fc-pga2 has an integrated heatspreader (IHS), the fc-pga not. It is true "Tualatin" cpus always use fc-pga2 packaging, but some "Coppermine" cpus also use fc-pga2 packaging! As far as compatibility with a motherboard is concerned, it doesn't matter at all if a cpu is fc-pga or fc-pga2 (but it certainly matters if it is a Coppermine or a Tualatin).

What I get from that is; If the processor is a standard CuMine then it should work in any Socket370 board! *EDIT* That supports a CuMine Core (I thought people would understand that) */EDIT*

you're forgetting the voltage issue, there are plenty of s370 boards that cannot handle cumine voltages

 
just checked my order stsus and it says authorization declined on the cellys....the athlons are bein processed. ?
 
DongTran,

You are right, if you want to go into that much more in detail

FCPGA2 = a type of substrate

Tualatin = a type of core

Hence, comparing Tualatin to Cuppermine is apple to apple, but if you compare Tualatin to FCPGA, it's apple to orange. 128k cache is in the core, but not in the substrate. Therefore, I should have said, "Having only 128k cache, this chip cannot be TUALATIN".

On the contrary, Intel introduced FCPGA2 substrate for "S370" when it came out with Tualatin core Celeron and PIII. Hence, Tualatin core only goes with FCPGA2 (1.0AMhz - 1.4Mhz), and Cuppermine goes with FCPGA (533AMhz - 1.1Mhz). There is another S370 Celeron core, Mendocino, which goes with PPGA substrate (300AMhz to 533Mhz).

Thank you for being that detail oriented.

Still. what I must have been right about is that you need Cuppermine Compatible S370 motherboard, or Slot 1 motherboard with a Cuppermine compatible slocket to run the CPU.

For people with S370 boards only supporting PPGA Mendocino Celeron (300A - 533), I remember seeing some hack which enable you to use Cuppermine core Celeron on them, although I have never done it myself. Unless you do the hack, you will not be able to run Cuppermine Celeron on it.

Regarding the voltage, some of the slot 1 motherboards might not be able to give voltage low enogh to run Cuppermine Celeron at the "default" voltage even using a slocket with voltage setting. However, Coppermine Celeron usually runs pretty OK even if the Voltage is higher by 0.1 or 0.2V.


Edit:

Osyris,

Is there any Cuppermine core with FCPGA2 substrate? LMK
 
They are going to come in monday and see 200 billion orders for this 🙂

I don't see how it could be an obvius pricing error like a moved decimal point. I assume they are just clearing out the stuff from the back of the wearhouse.
 
WOW....just ordered 2 cellys and 2 athlons. hope they come. =)

need to upgrade the 200mhz linux compiling box i have in the corner of my room. 😀

Yes, Celeron 900, 950, and 966 came in both FC-PGA and FC-PGA2 flavors - all coppermine cores. So you really can't generalize that Coppermine goes with FCPGA hehe 🙂
 
Well, I bought 2 cellys, lets see how this deal pans out. In the mean time, im considering a dual celly rig, how would performance stack up to say a PIII 933 mhz computer? Also, is there a decent dual cpu mobo, that is compatible with these chips, that someone could suggest?

Thanks.

BTW, if this deal goes through this could be the best deal I've seen in months!



*Edited for spelling*
 
Just ordered 4 for dual setups. Pulled trigger first, ask questions later.

I hope I can find a dual motherboard out there for this. Otherwise, I'm hosed. LOL
 
Celery's > 533 can't do dual..


I like the stock notation on the Athlon 900 ...... When do they come out??

A0900AMT3B ATHLON PGA
:

Outpost #: 2775113


Available for Preorder not available for export

I bought two also.

My mother and Sister-in-law both have P166 machine's. What was the mount for a P166..FC-PGA...anyone remember?
 
LOL!
I just called Outpost and the lady told me 4000 orders were placed last night. She also told me that my order will be filled within a week to 10 days. :Q I don't buy this though......

I highly doubt they can fill them. Does Intel even still have Celeron 900's available for sale to retailers?

 
just placed on order for 3 athlons and 2 celery's hopefully this comes through... one of the athlons will go to a friend, everything else will be ebayed or used for trades 🙂

Me thinks I'll get my chips sometime 🙂

last week on the XP 2000+ deal mine sat for 5 days on back order then they called and cancelled it....

 
It looks like they are cancelling the celeron orders... Mine doesn't even show in order tracking anymore.
 
My order also went into backorder. Ohh well. And, NO, they cant be used in SMP only the older PPGA Celerons could.

*EDIT* This is now on the front page of HardOCP. I doubt any further orders will even be taken from Fry's. */EDIT*
