Nice, sadly all my abit borads have died from bad caps, seems they really went cheap on that side despite the great features and designs.
Hope you have fun with that monster, 2 PIII 1.4s is a force to be reckoned with 😀

That's really cool. I ordered 3 1.4ghz tualatin CPUs myself for my Abit ST6 and my MSI 694D PRO2

Bad caps sells a kit for the vp6. I bought a kit from the for my board.

Ok so the CPUs are not stable. I'm trying to see what I can do to fix it.

Looks to be stable at 700mhz.
Also the guy from Korea that sells them is telling me to try this.
I can do it, but I don't know it I want to.

Stable at 700MHz using which CPUs?

Hey if nothing else you can use the VP6 as a freshly recapped and stable dual Coppermine machine and save the Tuallys for another build with a more stable/compatible motherboard.

Well I tried what he said to do and the system will not post with any cpu. I hope I can get it fixed. I think I'll just use a set of 1ghz 100mhz fsb p3s

Split off the capacitor chatter as requested by Saturn.

Capacitor replacement

Thanks, that got kind of out of hand fast.
Anyway look like I have a black sheep of vp6's. 😵
I'm going to need to do some more testing to see what I need to do. I'm about to give up. I been trying to get a pair of 1.4ghz p3 working in this board for over a year now.

I guess your choices are give up or do that SMD resistor mod you don't want to try.
I'm not sure why you are against the mod because you can always put it the way it was if it doesn't work.

congrats on your Abit motherboard!
i have an ABIT BE6.... which is a slot 1 board not a socket 370 but still an abit.
i realized just yesterday that the ISA slots on these abit boareds may cause some issues with some ISA cards.. for example i have a 16bit ISA card for midi input + output (winman 4x4/s by midiman) and it always would fail diagnostics on this abit be6 board (PCI/ISA mobo) but i plugged it into my 486 (100% ISA mobo) and it passed 100 passes in a row 100% pass consistant. so there must be some type of ISA to PCI bridge chip to enable the ISA slots on these abit boards that have them.(such as the ABIT BE6) so my midi card wasnt broken after all it works 100% in my ASUS VL/I-486SV2GX4

/\ Or the card just has trouble with PCs that are too fast, as anything Slot1 should be orders of magnitude faster than anything 486. The BE6 uses Intel's 440BX chipset that has native ISA.

The PL Chip creates the Clock for the PIII, Does the SMD Mod allow you 133Mhz FSB ???

No the system would not boot.

HaHa I have a funky VP6, so much so that the guy that sells the modded cpu's wants to buy the board for testing.
We are still working on it, one day I will get them to work at full speed. That one day has been in the works for over a year now... 😒
The only thing I have to show for is a sinlge cpu running at full speed with all in-lin adapter and two running at 700mhz 😠

If I could get them stable at 100Mhz FSB I'd be more then happy.

If you were me, would you keep modding the motherboard until you found away for it to work and risk killing the motherboard/cpu and maybe other parts too?
Or just use a pair of 100mhz fsb 1ghz P3's @ 133mhz FSB? I'm sure I can hit 133mhz FSB with them if not close. The most I would need is a better heatsink and maybe a pin mod them so I can run them at 2v. I recaped the VP6 and have pc142 ram.

Decide your priorities.
Seems to me that you bought this board in the first place just so you could tinker with and mod it. - Nuttin' wrong with that.
If all you care about now is running 1.4GHz PIII's then get rid of it and find a board that supports them natively. - Nuttin' wrong with that either.
.
There isn't really any such thing as PC142 RAM. That's just advertising nonsense. Someone trying to make their PC133 sound better.
A few companies released what they called PC150 in anticipation of the next JEDEC Specification but JEDEC never made that Spec official.

My MSI 694D PRO2 is table running my pin-modded tualeron at 1333Mhz BUT only at 1.67 volts.
