ABit BH6 - max CPU speed?

What is the maximum speed of slot 1 CPU that the ABit BH6 motherboard
will take?

I currently have a Celeron 600 installed in my BH6, overclocked to
900MHz, but I'd like to go for something faster if I could.


Thanks

I don't think you'll be seeing any noticeable increase in performance even
if you upgraded to a Slot-T and a Tualatin 1.2-1.4 Ghz Celeron (if that's
even possible on the BH-6, I don't know).

I'd just stay with the Cel 600@900 (which is a good increase) if it's
stable, and perhaps install more memory if you haven't maxed it out
already.

Depending on what you use the box for, increasing memory will probably
give you a better boost than upping the CPU speed (at least in this case).

If performance is of concern, perhaps a new disk controller (ATA-100 or
S-ATA) and perhaps newer, faster disks will give you a boost too.

It's just a matter of style. You can't fake it!

The fastest slot 1 made you can use is a 1Ghz P3, 100mhz bus or you can get a
powerleap adapter that will let you use faster Tualatin's.

When I had my BH6 I used a P3, 100 fsb slot 1 for a while. Thats the fastest
slot 1 cpu at a fsb of 100mhz. I then upgraded to a Powerleap PL-iP3/T 1.4 GHz
Intel Celeron which I had overclocked to around
1.568 Mhz.

If your BH6 is a newer revision then it might have a 1/4 divider for the pci
bus. Then you might be able to use 133fsb cpu's but your agp slot will run out
of spec at 89Mhz I believe. There are also no slot 1 cpu's at 133mhs fsb so you
would need to use a powerleap or a slotket.

The Slot-T is the cheap alternative to a Powerleap. A Tualatin Cel. 1.4 is
the fastest cpu for the Slot-T.

"There are also no slot 1 cpu's at 133mhs fsb so you

There are lots of Slot 1 133fsb cpu's...

even better 1.1A OC to 133fsb ...

taking care of additional cooling the mosfet voltage regulators too !!

if having a nVidia card, there is a fix on my site ...

Funny you should say that, as that's partly the reason I posted the
original message.

It's stable for all but anything 3D related to my AGP video card. In
fact, I'll start another thread now to avoid confusion.


Thanks

If you have v1.0x, you might have multiplier problems with your AGP if you
run at 133 FSB.

That's correct, the fastest slot 1 is a P3, 1Ghz at 100fsb. It would be a big
improvement over what he's using now, but a Powerleap at slightly over $100
would give him the best performance with a 1.4 Celeron Tulatin. There might be
other alternatives like mentioned that are cheaper, but the fastest 100 Mhz cpu
is the Tualatin. The Tualatin 1.4 which I had running at 1.568 was only a
little bit faster then the P3 1Ghz I had running at 1.12 Ghz. So it all comes
down to cost. I'm also not sure if you can still find the slot 1 100fsb version
of the P3.

There are 1Ghz slot 1 133Mhz chips...which would be the fastest slot 1.

Why someone would invest any money on a system based on a aging BX board I
will not understand.
Sdram, UDMA-33, AGP-2X...a Duron or Athlon chip and motherboard would be the
better option with more up to date north/south bridge technology.
