Hello
I have a asus P3B-F motherboard, and i have read that this mobo unoficially suports tualatins CPU's. My board revision is 1.03 (written next to model marking on the pcb). Right now it runs PIII 550 Mhz Katamai. I bought a slotket (370SP rev. 2.0), that supports coppermine processors, and with a easy modification (soldering 2 pins with each other, and isolating some pins on cpu) it can support tualatin. But here comes another problem, when i go to bios settings i cant adjust the core voltage lower than 2.0V which is too much even for some coppermines. According to this http://homepage.hispeed.ch/rscheidegger/p2b_p … ml#rec_slotkets site I have "correct" revision and "new" voltage regulator which can go down to even 1.3V. Whats wrong with my motherboard then, maybe i cant go any lower because it detects the katami and prevent any lower voltage adjust and after mounting new cpu the lower options will appear? Did you had a same problem?
