Hello,
I have this problem - I have mainboard Transcend TS-ABX02 (iBX) with slot1 and cpu Celeron 366 (PPGA to Slot1 reduction).
Now I want to buy some faster cpu - Celeron 600 or 700. But I don't know, if those new Coppermine cpus will be work with my iBX board. So i'll buy reduction FCPGA-Slot1 and i'll upgrade bios.
But on the Transcend website, there are 2 versions of bios - for boards with 8 clockgen (there is only written, that board will be support PIII up to 700Mhz) and for boards with 16 clockgen (there is written, that it support also Coppermine processors).
- how can i recognize, which clockgen is on my board?
- is true, that 8 clockgen doesn't support Coppermine Celerons?
- if i have 8 clockgen, can i use bios for 16 clockgen?

Sorry for my english,
thanks for replies.

I'm going to do that same type of thing but on an Intel 440BX board in a Dell computer. I just picked the most recent Bios from Dell and am hoping that a Celeron 1.1 GHz will work with a socket 370 to Slot 1 adapter. In your case, i'm not sure what bios version to use. I would ask Transcend what they would recommend.
