How is your Asus P3B-F doing?

How is your Asus P3B-F doing?
What kind of processor you running on it? OCed?
And what setting you have for the P3B-F?

Super stable. Had it since last January. This board has seen 3 cpu's, a celeron 366@550, a celeron 566@952, and currently holds a P3 850@1054. Using PC100 Cas2, running it at 124 cas2. Don't really know what kind of settings you are talking about, is there anything specific in the bios you were wondering about?

I'm all SCSI too so the lack of ata-66 means very little, this is the perfect BX board for me (Other than the lack of multiplier settings, like on Abit's. I could take this thing higher if I had settings between 124 and 133 FSB). BX boards and PC100 ram forever, maybe in a year I'll see about another major upgrade. By then I'll need some DDR ram I'll bet

Mine is doing pretty good. It's sitting on a shelf in my room. It's very stable. Hasn't fallen off of the shelf once!

I'm still rockin' along with my old-ass Asus P2B-F.. I'm running a Celeron 600 @ 900Mhz on a S370-133 Asus slot adapter.

Supersix how do you set your jumpers to run the p2bf at 952 mhz with the cel2 566? My p2b-f has the multiplier for only x8. Thanks. Also, I have a p3b-f which I cannot access to the automatic cpu and voltage setup from the bios menu. I need to use the dip switch to make the mobo boot. If I set all the dip switches to off, the board dont boot. Thanks in advance for any help.

My P2B-F is running a C2-700@870 which needs a multiplier of 10.5x Make sure you have the most recent bios

Adam - You interested in unloading your P3B-F? LMK!

Not a single glitch in my P3B-F. Had this one from before last christmas.

550E @ 733 Mhz.

Im liking mine. Just bought it and replaced my ABIT BX6 rev.2

I was actually looking for an inexpensive mobo to build a system for my friend with my old 300a@450 and I saw this on a clearance table at a local shop for $35 and decided I liked it better than MY board!

It isnt much of an upgrade but it gives me more options for overclocking!!

------> WyattBurp... I had that same problem where it would not let me change the settings of my cpu in bios so i changed the jumpers on the slotkett and then it opened up the bios for all the adjusting i could do!!

 

[macssuck]

That was a great deal scrubman

I built a system with a p3b-f and a PIII 933 very fast compared to my PII400

P2B-F with a Celeron 566 @ 850 mhz. The P2B-F is still rocking! Haven't even considered buying a new mobo.

Specs in sig, perfect mobo, rock stable, and you can adjust the multiplier settings with the Asus P3BF, just u need an unlocked CPU, and that's only the really old PII's, can't find unlocked PIII"s except maybe engineer samples.

I think i have a defective P3B-F
something is weird with it, I ended up switching because my P3B-F could not handle any BUS speeds above 120 FSB... my Soyo board takes my PIII to 1 GHz but the P3B-F wasnt even stable at 866!
I have a PIII 450 which would run at 126 FSB on the Soyo and just to prove my point now the highest the P3B-F will take the 450 is only to 120 FSB... it's quite weird, but because of that i am on a Soyo now.
Other than that silly problem the P3B-F was a gem.
Both systems were exactly the same even down to the case so it's beyond me why it can't go past 120, i have PC133 RAM and all which is no running at 137 so I know that's not the problem!

Oh well! good for a non-overclocker!
