Are you looking to get rid of your old P2B mobo?

WTB: Asus P3B-F

I would like to get my hands on a Asus P3B-F (rev 1.03 or later) to run a recently inherited slot1 P3-700 that my old P2B can't handle.
Let me know if ya got one, and what you want for it...

What do you mean your P2B can't handle the P3 ???

Targetting for 133MHz FSB ?

What he means is that early versions of the P2B can't supply the proper voltage to run a coppermine, and his 700 is a coppermine.

pffffffffffffff .... so what ?

remember that I have an Asus P2b-S Rev 1.02 ???

all you need is the right slotket, set it to 1.8 volts minimum (wouldn't even post below) and enjoy !



PS: according to Asus my mobo must be at least rev 1.04. to support cumines, but obviously they just don't want the people to fiddle with their boards ...
PPS: my Celery is also a coppermine, just in case you two forgot ...

d'oh ... didn't recognize that he has a slot 1 CPU ...

but there was a way, just let me search a while

found it ...

I admit though that it'S based on te older P2 CPUs, but since they use an identical slot, I guess the result is the same.
Also this was the way I did it when upping my Cel333A to 2.2V and 500MHz.

Thanks Magnum-
But the 1.02 rev of the P2B does not support voltages below 1.8, and this slot1 coppermine runs at 1.65.
It will not even post in my mobo.
A long search of the Asus forums turned up nothing but many people up against the same wall, and nobody who has been able to make it work.

So I just want to get a mobo that properly supports this chip...
