Any way to run a 2 Ghz P4 in a P3C2000 ??

[Flic]

I read some where (can't find it now) that someone was running a 2 Ghz
Pentium 4 in an Asus P3C2000 motherboard.

Anyone try this?

If not, what's the fastest processor you have successfully run in the
board?

TIA,

This is fundamentally impossible, given entirely different bus
protocols.

If not, what's the fastest processor you have successfully run in the
board?

With a Tualatin adapter and a recent BIOS I'd assume anything up to a
PIII-S 1.4 would work. This, btw, is roughly as fast as an old P4 2.0
GHz.

From what I read about that mobo, I wouldn't spend that kind of money.
There are plenty of upgrade amd boards(sdram) that support
cpu's up to amd 2100+, just bought that cpu and fan for 62$.

That's what I thought. I found where it was listed and it was in a
persons signature who posted to a video editing group.

This is what I thought the cieling was for this board.


Thank you!

Good point, forgot to write about that - i820 with MTH (recalled) isn't
the best in terms of speed and stability...
