Is there such thing as a 1.13 GHz Coppermine, or are the vendors on PriceWatch just st00pid?

Anybody have any luck modifying an 815 based board to run a Tualatin processor? Specifically, I'm trying to find out if I can use the BX board modification to pull a little more life out of an aging 815 board that doesn't natively support Tualatin. I'm pretty sure I can use a softfsb type program to accomplish the FSB manipulation (since the BIOS has nothing of the sort), but I'm worried about pin compatibility. Heck, even if we're stuck at default speed it will still be a lot faster than the P3 733 that's in there now, and much cheaper than a P3 1 GHz.

Has anybody done this?

Same banana sa modding a slotket -- either you mod the CPU pins itself or the i815 socket 370 pins.

Article on how to do it on a BX board. Doesn't sound like it'd be terribly difficult...

the bx had more support for the tulation then the 815 did. they sepcificly needed a new chipset rev to get it to run a tulation.

That's what I was afraid of. Funny how an older chipset has more support for it than a newer one.



I see several 1.13 GHz P3's on Pricewatch that are specifically labelled as coppermine processors, yet there is no 1.13 coppermine listed on Intel's web page...

Anybody know if these are really coppermines?

Anybody know if there is such a thing as a 1.13 S370 Coppermine?

does it matter?

Im sure pm or wingsznut pez can confirm, but yes I believe that after the P4 launch, but before Tualatin, there were was a new stepping of the Coppermine that allowed it to reach 1.13. I remember a link showing that info, cant find it at the moment, but if u look here, they list a 1.1 FCPGA CPU which I take to be a Coppermine. pm, wingz, can you confirm this? Im certain there were 1.13 CuMine's, and if u think about it it makes sense, cause there are 1.1 .18im Celeron's right?

 

[Adul]

yes there was 1.13 coppermines

1.13 CuMines exsist, they were in extremely low supply, dont know about now, but they killed the sub 700mhz PIIIs a few days ago, appearently the PIIIs are sellling down.

Yes, there were 1.13 coppermines. They were recalled:

I don't remember if they ever started selling 1.13 coppermines after that or waited until the Tualatin was ready.

Yep, tey had some problems

Don't know if that's the case, but I have 1.13GHz Coppermine PIII (or at least that's what sysinfo says) in my IBM Thinkpad Laptop. Processor is P3-M (mobile version) though.

They we recalled after the Tom Pabst versus Intel fiasco...... Tom and kyle's scpu were unstable, anands was fine, they finally got togethter with an Intel employee(tom wouldnt let go of his processor, Intel obviously wanted it back) and it ended up proving all 3 were unstable and they got recalled.

 

[Sunner]

Yes there were "real" 1.13 GHz Coppermines, besides the ones that were recalled.
Quite some time after the original 1.13 a new stepping enabeled them to reach 1.13 reliably.
