I wouldnt bother with it. I would say its more likely to do with the power than the BIOS settings especially as one works.

Run a pair of coppermine CPUs in it and get a decent board for the Tualatins. There are still some out there.

Never said this:
“Yes I know, but not all Tualatin chips are P3-S chips“

Theres a difference between P3-s an P-3s.
One is a Pentium 3-S and the other is plural Pentium 3.

Semantics aside, what do you intend to do with it? Why would you want to put those CPUs on that board?

I have exactly the same problem.
No modded bios out there?

Some combination of board revision (maybe not yours?) and modded cpu / socket clearly works, and with the stock BIOS - Re: 694D Pro2 (MS-6321) dual P3 motherboard

Sorry but I think we already moved on.

Yes,
The problem is that we have the first revision, so the 694D pro 1.x
Not the 694D pro2 (2.x)

Of course with modded Tualatin-S (or with adapters, my case).
That is why I was wondering if some bios editing could help.

I can try to put pro2 bios, with my programmer.
Just I do not want to fry the motherboard.
Any chance it could happen?

Ok I did it.
Crossflashed with the pro2 bios.
The board starts, even if I get a strange warning
“Flash memory is protected” (?)

Now for XP loads, but afterwards desktop appears I get IRQ_Not_Less_or_equal error.

I feel I did a step forward anyway.

Thanks for linking to my post, but yes, I have the revision 2.x which works fine with two modded Tualatins.

I can also dual-boot 98SE and XP just fine, without getting any bluescreens.

Ok,
I think that the pro2 bios handles two Tualatin better, but the board is so unstable that I cannot install any OS.

I think I will revert to the original bios, waiting for someone who can compare the two bioses.
And maybe copy the pro2 part on the pro, when it comes to cpu handling (if it is even possible).

Jan are you around?

Running a pair of 866, 933, and even 1000's all work all CuMine (the 933 did till a busted a pin on one of the 933's PREQ)

Do you only get these problems when you use the Tualatin chips?

Yes,
It is the focus of the topic.
To run two Tualatin-S (with adapters or modded) on the 694D pro 1.x
