Well, I seem to have stepped in it big time. I have two intel SE440BX-2 motherboards lying around and figured I'd put one of them to use in a vintage build with a Powerleap PL IP3-T rev 2 and a Celeron 1.4ghz chip. I fought with it for hours and got no love, so I upgraded the bios and still got no love.
Thinking it was a bad slotket (two of the caps have scratches in them from when someone stupid tried installing an oversized heatsink), I bought yet another Powerleap, this time with a 1.4ghz PIII in it.
Neither the 1.4ghz PIII clocked at 1ghz nor the 1.4ghz Celeron work, and I've tried clocking them down to 66mhz fsb as well. I either get no POST and no video, or the thing crashes miserably within 20 seconds or so.
Has anyone here successfully gotten a PowerLeap to work with an Intel branded mobo, or only with third party stuff (or OEM stuff)?
