Question about Abit BP6

[Glendor]

According to the Abit website, the BP6 comes with two PGA sockets for Cely 366mhz and 400mhz CPUs. Are those the ONLY intel CPUs that will work on this board? The clock multiplier and bus frequency looks like it will go all the way to 800mhz, Is there a reason why I couldn't put PIII or faster Cely2s on it?

go to www.bp6.com for more info, but the BP6 will accept any PPGA celeron (not the FCPGA though). Supposedly it will also work with PIII FCPGAs if you use the neo adaptor. (perhaps it will work with a single FCPGA celery with a neo, I don't know)

Even though it will fit, you don't want to put a Celeron II FC-PGA directly into a PPGA socket !

Maybe this will help too:

What is the fastest PPGA chip that would work WELL on the BP6?

366@550 is the sweet spot for the BP6. For the fastest system, you must use the 100mhz fsb or higher.
