Powerleap upgrade

I just got my pl-ip3/t from powerleap with the celeron 1.2. I had some issues with it, but I've gotten it working.

-Initially, the system would not even post, it turns out I had the dip switches on my mobo (abit sh6) set to 133, after resetting it to default the system would boot fine. I then set it to 100mhz so that it wouldn't accidently default to 66 for the celeron (800mhz)

-The cpu speed is incorrect when it is reported during post, and I have to hit F1 to continue, but windows xp detects the proper speed (this is not a problem according to the instructions that came with the adapter).

-The cpu temp is not reported in the bios. I have a thermal probe that I'll try to see if I can get the cpu temp with that (I'll update this post if it works).

Other than that, everything is fine and very stable. I'm about to update my bios to see if I can get it to properly report the cpu speed.

EDIT: Device manager reports a PIII Xeon processor, but wcpuid reports the celeron

EDit again: I flashed the bios, I have a softmenu setting for 12x100, but the cpu still registers incorrectly, oh well
 
I also just got this upgrade and I'm very happy with it. I have a BCM QS440BX mainboard with the latest BIOS and it also reads the wrong speed during post. But WindowsXp and various benchmark programs all see it properly. I oringinaly was going to get the P3 1000e but the Powerleap was cheaper and is faster. Fine upgrade. No complaints here.
 
I'm glad you're amused.
