Hello! I am fairly new in these retro-rigs, and I am going to try slotkets for the first time. My motherboard is a MS-6163 VER.1, which doesn't officially support Coppermine, but later BIOS revisions allowed the VER.2 to do so. The BIOS are interchangeable, I think, for VER1 and VER2. The question is... I got a pair of slotkets for five dollars and I wanted to know whether it was possible to run a coppermine CPU there. My idea is to run one that reaches 1ghz.
Here are the slokets
First one
Second one
Are these any good? One of them have voltage regulator.
Thing is, my motherboard doesn't accept bus speeds higher than 100mhz, and the processors they sell in my country are all 133mhz, do you guys thing I will be able to do anything combining the slotket and the mobo, or should I dessist and find a better one?
As a side question, can I flash a BIOS from a CD? I can boot from a CD, but the BIOS readme wanted me to use a diskette, and make it bootable from cmd.
