If your P2B supports coppermines then you can modify pretty much any slotket to work with Tualatin. Just do it properly, most guides are not correct. Use this guide and you are good: http://www.rom.by/articles/S370/_english_index.htm

XG-DLS will work at 133 MHz FSB with only one CPU sadly, could not get it to POST with two CPU's at 133 MHz no matter what. Either of them ran happily at 133 Mhz all day long. And these were 700/2M ones that ran perfectly at 933 MHz.

Nice build! Are you runnin 133 or 100 MHz FSB PIII's? Also, regarding RAM, 440BX supports up to 1GB, did you install 4x512MB DIMM's? It would still recognize only 1 GB.

For Pentium M and AGP, at least 7600 GT, when using PCIe board (P4GPL-X or P4GD1) then as good as you want 😁

To each their own. For example Tualatin is odd thing as the best readily available chipset is officially not supported (440BX), I would never use VIA chipset on it and 815 is artificially crippled. To tell that it reduces lifetime on already old hardware is like a joke. USing a CPU at their original …

What out of spec? :D 1.8v instead of 1.75 or...? BX chipsets have been ran at 133MHz FSB since like forever, no problems with them. I personally have used all kinds of CPU's back in the day and overclocked Coppermine Celerons to oblivion (566 @ 952 for example), excellent gaming computers they were. …

Some P2Bs don't support Coppermine though. I have my doubts about every P2B getting to 133MHz FSB also. I'm reasonably sure the oldest BX boards did not overclock to 133MHz FSB very easily. Are you perhaps referring to some different board like P2B-B (which is the AT version)? Just trying to …

BX often makes RAM sticks unstable as a) it is very fast chipset itself , b) it often does not have enough i/o voltage so it is essential to use quality RAM sticks and sometimes loosen timings a bit. 133 MHz is breeze to P2B. Also you don't need Powerleap for Tualatin to work on this board, some …

Normal and obtainable consumer motherboards are based on 440BX (Asus P2B-B being the best of them), supports Pentium III-S 1.4GHz with slight mods and can be overclocked too. Also Witht he same board you can use Tualeron 1.@1.6 GHz (133 FSB) but it would be around as fast as 1.4 GHz PIII-S.

I'm using Pentium 3 11x100 (SL5QW) in my Chaintech 6BTM0. That's a 440BX board as well, only full-ATX. I've found a modded BIOS with support for Tualatin which also added support for my SL5QW. Could be something similar available for your board as well? You can patch the BIOS yourself with BP 4.23 …

Your problem is most likely RAM timings. There are sticks that are PC133 but cannot handle tight timings, try set loower timings on them, your other components should have no problems running at 133 FSB (I have several Chaintech 44BX mobos, ALL of them work very well at and beyond 133 MHz).

I have P4P800 Se and P4GPL-X (latter is PCI-E), with CT-479 it is one of my favourite retro systems. Clock by clock it eats Opterons for lunch in most applications and since gaming is priority it dominates that. Back in 2006 I had P4GD1, loved that board so much that even though I sold the board I …
