Sorry if this is bad forum etiquette, but I didn't want to bump the original thread for months until I finally got it figured out. I looked through the "Forum Issues" board, but didn't see anything about what to do to resurrect old threads that have been "archived,"so I made this new one.
Anyway. Brief recap. I had an Abit BE6 (a 440BX, slot 1 motherboard), and I wanted to run a Celeron 1300 in it. In theory this would require the slot1->socket370 "SlotKet" adaptor and a socket370->socket370 adaptor for the modified pinout of the Celeron 1300 with the Tualatin core. I couldn't get the setup to work, but I wasn't sure if it was a bad CPU or the ridiculousness of running a processor behind two different adaptors.
The update: I tracked down a new (well as new as any chip from four or five years ago would be) 1300, and it worked on the first try with both adaptors. I set the SlotKet and LinLin (the socket 370->tualatin adaptor) jumpers to "AUTO" for everything and that was that.
So, for the Abit BE6, you can use two different adaptors if you want to use Tualatin core processors. Who knows about other boards from other brands, but this setup worked. The upgrade went from Celeron 700 to Celeron 1300, which more-or-less halved the time required to compress and decompress MP3s and Windows bootup. I didn't run any stress tests or anything, but it ran for quite a while compressing MP3s.

Thanks for all of your replies in the original thread.
