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.

Never looked for it, maybe someone skilled could give some insight after some measurements and tracing where it goes?

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 …

It did not detect system wrongly but P2B series have hardware problem with ACPI. Asus also had rework guide for it so that ACPI will work as it should. I also had to perform the same mod both on my P2B-D and my XG-DLS (dual Slot2 board). https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=838874

Only first 6BTM's did not support Coppermines officially (actually they all worked with them if you used slotket with vcore jumpers, just set it to 1.8v), most of them work with Tualatins too.

You can just set the voltage to 1.8 volts and any Coppermine will happily work with that. People just do not bother to search enough, this topic has been beaten to death..
