Intel PIII SSPEC SL5BS - What is it?

[nagibbs]

I ordered a PIII 1ghz 100 fsb Fcpga from Compgeeks last week and it arrived today. The chip they sent was a PIII 900/256/100/1.75V with an sspec of SL5BS. The chip should have an sspec of SL5QV (others at hot deals have ordered this chip with indeed an sspec of SL5QV). I have sent Compgeeks an email about his problem but have not heard back. What is strange is that on Intels sspec sheet for the PIII there is NO SL5BS and I cannot find it on there updated errata sheets. Does anybody know what this chip really is? Thanks

DOHH !! In case the knucklehead that packs up parts for shipment at CompGeeks is reading this .... what part of 1000 did you not comprehend in boxing up that 900 cpu ??:|

900 ... 1000 hmmmm .. hope you get the RIGHT cpu ... I love my 1000

That is a bad deal for you but you may have got a better OC'r to a 133MHz bus with that cDO 900e. I was wondering if they were going to make these. Very nice and you should hit 133 very easily with that chip and maybe better! I wouldn't be too pissed but maybe try and get some cash from them for their mistake as a 145MHz bus with that chip would be much better than a 130~133MHz bus with a 10x multi on the 1000e cDO. Get my drift? Well that if you are a FPS orientated person.

I checked intels sspec and indeed they do not have that chip on the sspec sheet

I suspect that they sent you that cpu as they're out of stock of the 1GHz 100fsb & are unable to get any more from Intel!
production ceased at the ending of last year.

Sorry to hear that. They just posted the same chip the other day after shipping my order.
Just ask them to do a cross-ship. It's not your fault anyway.

Compgeeks is going to send me a shipping label so I can send the PIII 900 back and they will send me the right chip (PIII 1ghz). I am already running a PIII 900mhz (100fsb) that I got from tigerdirect a year or so ago and have had it up to 124mhz fsb. I will post some sandrta numbers from both chips when I get the 1ghz. PIII 900mhz is running on a bf6 with no problems.
