Nope, you have the same sc1152cs chip as mentioned in the other post.
but....
Didn't know you were using a slocket adapter if your lucky it's one of the ones that has a VRM onboard.
and yes BX officially only supports upto 100FSB but it was typical to overclock to 133, only side effect been AGP is also overclocked which some cards didn't like (your voodoo should be fine)

If it was me I'd update the bios so it has a up to date CPU list then plug it in and see how it goes as it wont break anything. Initially it'll be underclocked but all we are after is checking if it even boots.
Although I'd still think the currant setup is the better option

There are a few generations of 440BX boards

  1. early ones, having 3x ISA, these are typically not stable at 133Mhz FSB and support max Katmai PIII
  2. having 2x ISA, these may be stable at 133Mhz if it is a well known brand, e.g Asus. Budget brands will most likely not stable even if the option is available (PCChips, Tomato etc.).
  3. late ones, having 1x ISA, often support PATA 66/100 via extra raid chip. These support FSB up to about 150Mhz and will be stable at 133Mhz FSB.

Pentium III 900E, ECS P6BXT-A+, 384MB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600 128MB, Voodoo 2 12MB, 80GB HDD, Yamaha SM718 ISA, 19" AOC 9GlrA
Athlon 64 3400+, MSI K8T Neo V, 1GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 7600GT 512MB, 250GB HDD, Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS

Looks like the slotket is:

AA370P (marketed as Matrix & Evercool) 370CPU rev 1.0
FCPGA Coppermine / 133 / auto voltage / no voltage clamp

No jumpers on that one at all.
