How much does an Intel i810 based mobo support?

Whats the maximum speed of a Celeron or Pentium3 processor that an Intel i810 based motherboard can support?

You can find that on Intel's website. I looked it up once for my old computer.

The chipset can run at least 1 gig coppermine. The more important question would be what does your bios support? Some boards were specifically limited to certain speeds.

the chipset should run 1.2 ghz if memory serves...it's been a while since I played without an agp slot.

I tried looking for it on Intel's website but couldn't find it. How do I know how much my BIOS supports?
I know that its Award BIOS and is of the year 2000.

 

[Srikanth]

According to WinXP, the BIOS version and date are Award Software Intenational Inc. 4.51 PG, 9/22/2000.

What is the model number of your motherboard?

Dude I have a cousin named Srikanth from Hyderabad too 😕

Its a Priya motherboard having model no BIW2B REV:1.1 , BIOS 1.8
It also has a serial number IW2B0BD837. Their website is www.priyagroup.com
I dont think they manufacture this board anymore.

Looking at the priya site, they lead you to think that they go above 600 mhz if it has the 1.8 bios. Looking up a biw2b motherboard from procom, they say that their board stops at 600 mhz. So is there a definitive answer...not really. I'd say that you could probably put a faster chip in what you have. But if you put one in and doesn't boot, your usually not going to harm anything. There was a slight change in voltage in some of the later p3 chips that may not be recognized by your motherboard. They had 1.65 and 1.7 volts for earlier coppermines and 1.75 for later. Some bios's come up with a micro code error for the latest chips, since they weren't updated with the latest cpu info. That error doesn't appear to bother anything, as most test programs still see the speed that it is running at correctly.

so it probably maxes out with the 100fsb p3's, I would't try a 133 fsb chip in it.

What about the celeron processor?

According to Intel anything but the first release of the 810 supports a 133Mhz Bus. Here is a link to Intel's "Mature" Chipset Page. You should also try updating your BIOS since it may support additional processors.

Hope this helps! 🙂

Intel

It probably stands a good chance of seeing fc-pga processors, the link shows up to 850 mhz cpu. The other types might not be seen properly, but may still work. Somewhere in the faster cpu's, they become Tulatin core, and those wouldn't work.

You might post this in the cpu forum.
