You can tell what cpu clock you use in the motherboard?
I have here celeron 900, P3 700 and P3 1GHz. All are 100mhz fsb.

I only have a Pentium III 600e.

The BX-3 is the "OEM" motherboard for the likes of gateway, Dell. The BX-2 is the "official" Intel board which is why you don't have any logo's
If you don't have a floppy, you can use a HDD, just make sure you bypass the startup files by pressing Shift F5. (that's all the boot disk is doing)

Although I'd recommend a Gotek if your messing around with old PC's. Even if its just the 1 drive you install temperately for times like this.
Even with the standard firmware they are useful for troubleshooting.

In order to support coppermine you also need to have specific hw revision of the board. More info here: http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel/SE440BX-2.html

MIne is a later revison of 754552-200? 754552-303 and the Bios has the P17

P17 BIOS is the version you want - later BIOS releases blocked booting with some CPUs (POST but refused to go any further).
