Main system I've Been using is:
Gigabyte GA-6VTXE Rev 1.0 (Via Apollo Pro 133T, got off ebay with bad caps)
System I built up the other day:
ASUS TUSL2-C (Intel 815EP I believe. Bought it new back in the day.) Haven't Fired this up yet as I'm waiting on a Voodoo 5 5500 AGP and Audigy 2 to arrive.
Also waiting on some Kingmax PC-150 ram to arrive (4x256MB) from ebay 😀
Does VIA 133 even support Tualatins? My Abit VP6 doesn't and I found that out AFTER I bought a pair of 1.4ghz PIII's. Now I'm stuck using the 1ghz Coppermines that came with it.
The VIA Apollo Pro 133 and 133A will not without the socket adaptors or the BX-mod (pin modded).
On the seller site it shows it supports
Compatible M/B Chipset : 694X, 693A, 815, 815E, 815EP, 810E, BX, ZX, 810DC100, 693...
The 694x is a Apollo Pro 133A chipset. Which your Abit VP6 is a 694x. I believe dual socket requires PIII-S though, not 100% sure though.
The three apollo chipsets have some differences
*Apollo Pro 133 didn't work to great at 133MHz so the 133A chipsets replaced them. Most run ATA-66
*Apollo Pro 133T supports Tualatin, usually ATA-100 as well
...I don't know if you're aware of this, but if you're having trouble finding information on these things, it might be because you keep spelling it wrong. (I've done the same thing before; it happens.)
You got me, I am spelling it wrong, but mainly looked at just a couple other forums and cpu-world. A user on cpu-world is getting 133mhz out of his 1.3 @ 1.65volts, still under the coppermine 1ghz 1.7v requirement! More so just wanted to see if others here at vogons have had success 😁
Oh, also messaged the seller, he is sending a B1 stepping, so my chances are getting better!
