I need someone to do me a favour...

Ok, my mobo is the GA-6BXE http://tw.giga-byte.com/products/ga6bxe.htm. It's all I got for now :( and it was Timmy's. I need someone to do me a huge favour and tell me what it can max support, and if I need to flash BIOS. I only ask this because I don't usually post, and don't have direct access to da net. ;)

Thanks heaps gamers.

Uhhh, dude. Thanks for that, but I'm not too clued up on multiplier's and shit...what exactly can this motherboard support up to? I mean, can I put a 1.2 PIII Tulatin in it or what?

-Az

733mhz I think.. Either that or 700mhz..

And thats depends on what REV version the board is. Do you know what version it is? :roll:

What the fuck is that???

nice sig
Impresses Eater... (not the pic the words)

No, a tualatin requires an i815EP or some via chipsets, as it reuires b-stepping rather than the nromal way the i815 does things. The highest you'll get would be a P2 i would say. However you might get one of the pre-coppermine celerons in it (mendichino core).

if you want to run a P3 or Celeron Tualatin, you will need a GA-6OXT (full ATX) or the GA-6VEML (micro ATX). Or another brand board that has the i815EP chipset or the VIA VT8602 (PLE133T)/VIA VT82C686B chipset combo. However there are a few more combos for via chipsets

Ok first - to Eater - thanks. I show you some of my own shit soon - I write some pretty decent pomes. I don't trip in to the big fuckin picture sig's, although some look aii. To Martok - thanks mate, much appreciated.
