installing P-III
Hows it going all.
Im planning on chucking this new cpu i scored, into my pc..
Its a pentium 3 600, i believe it is the coppermine, as WCPUID reports it as having 256k L2 cache, and i think its run 100fsb, ie. PIII-600E.
Anyway, im trying to install it into my ABIT BH-6, which currently houses a P-II 450..
Do i need to change voltages and stuff in the bios before i install or will like it auto-detect or something??
Cuz my p2 has around 2.05v running into it, but coppermines run at 1.65v.. im thinking the extra voltage might fry the thing
Anyone know?

Looks like it should.
It probably auto determines the fsb and voltage.
Thanks to prexaspes I have a little info on all that junk.
It looks to be the same chipset I'm running.
The 450 is probably running at 100 fsb also.
this may be of a little help: http://www6.tomshardware.com/motherb.../440bx-03.html
It just says at what the fsb can be run.

evidently its auto everything on that board..... http://www.duxcw.com/digest/Reviews/MBs/Abit/bh6.htm
theres a review and it has this quote "The jumperless CPU installation makes installing this board as simple as a single sentence"
Here is the link for Abits page http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/...ies=1&model=98
Abit was the real innovator as far as jumperless motherboards.
So I think you just slap that cpu in.

uh, what the..
I pull out my P-II, and its a mammoth black case covered thing which was stuck in a large slot, which of course, is slot 1..
But the p3 is socket370!?
can i just take off the cover of the p2 and replace the chip, or what?? Because i know people have used p3's on an Abit BH-6 board..
*confused*

Your chipset supports P3 so what you need is a Slot 1 > Socket 370 converter.
I haven't seen many of these converters in the local computer shops because it's old hat, with the Pentium 4 taking over.
Look on eBay, I saw a few the last time I was on...
Edit: too late

cheers dudes, i live in New Zealand, so i'll have to see if theres any lying around here.
other than that, i have some crappy Socket370 mobo made by MSI.. but its micro-atx, and has a pitiful 3 PCI slots, and only 2x memory slots..
which do you think would be better to go with?
Abit BH-6 with 320MB SD-RAM using socket370 converter.. with tnt2 ultra running @ 2x AGP, and hdd at ATA-33
or MSI with 256MB SD-RAM, tnt2 ultra @ 4x AGP, and hdd at ATA-66
The bottom kinda sounds better.. but its got **** all slots, and i cant be bothered fully installing that mobo
Do not use profanity here!!
How many times do i have to edit you till you quit using profane?!
