The latest and unfortunately the last BIOS update from Abit is RU. Our BIOS updates contain many modified RU revisions. HPT366 BIOS updates, Pentium III Mi...

Good point. To do right, we'll need RU modified with the correct Micro Code for the Tualatin CPU.

What is JP1 on the motherboard? JP1 is for Power on after Power failure . Mainly used for remote servers. This allows the system to Reboot by Itself after any power failure. Set jumper on switch to pins 1-2 for Power on after Power failure . Default position for jumper on switch is pins 2-3. Setup ...

One CPU is 5-10 degrees hotter than the other CPU -Why? This is somewhat normal for this motherboard. Many users have reported similar differences.

Who's Your Momma!"

Before you install Windows 2000 or XP, ACPI and APM must be enabled in the BIOS. This will allow the operating system to shutdown without any manual assist.

That's Twisted!

Thanx, Lycaon!

Well, I think it has been mentioned before, that stacking a FC-PGA2-to-FC-PGA adapter onto the PowerLeap Neo S370 adapter, might work. Haven't heard of anyone actually making it happen.

Can I upgrade to a Coppermine FC-PGA CPU?

At the moment, the only way to upgrade to a Coppermine FC-PGA CPU, would be to use the PowerLeap Neo S370 adapter. However, SMP support has not been successfully reported to work with the Coppermine FC-PGA CPU's, yet.

Can I run dual Celeron II FC-PGA CPU's in my BP6?

The Celeron II will NOT SMP. The Celeron II FC-PGA CPU will only work on the BP6 in single CPU mode using the PowerLeap Neo S370 adapter. Try using CPU socket CPU1 next to the RAM sockets, first.

Supported CPU's: This is still a work in progress since new CPU 's keep coming out. The original Intel Celeron 300A - 533MHz (PPGA Package) is supported ( SMP capable). Certain Pentium III CPU 's will run in dual mode on a BP6 that has been modified. Or, a BP6 and PowerLeap NeoS370 adapters that ha...

... Or better yet, right click on My Computer and go to Device Manager under Hardware and if you have two processors, under Processors there should be two entries. Hope that helps, loophole. When you get into the Device Manager, click on the + sign next to Computer . You should see Multiprocessor P...

Can I use dual Pentium III FC-PGA CPU's on the BP6? Sort of. The Pentium III FC-PGA CPU's cB0 stepping and above will work on the BP6 in a single CPU mode using a PowerLeap Neo S370 adapter. However, some BP6 users have been able to modify the mainboard and the PowerLeap Neo S370 adapter to get SMP...

How do I overclock the CPU(s) on my BP6? Go into the BIOS and manually set the CPU settings in the !! CPU Soft Menu II !! section. Change CPU Operating Speed to User Defined . Now, you can change the External Clock (FSB; Front Side Bus) setting to increase CPU speed. Changing the Multipler Factor w...

Upgrade your BIOS to RU.

No, just the PCI slots. The two closest to the ISA slots.

My SCSI controllers are in slot 4 and slot 5 on my two BP6's.

Check the voltage regulator capacitors around the CPU sockets. The tall, green ones. Look for signs of bulging, discoloration and/or oozing electrolyte. If you see any capacitor(s) with any of these characteristics, then this is probably your problem. Replacing the bad capacitor(s) should resolve yo...

Why does my 256MB RAM stick show in the BIOS startup as 128MB? The type of RAM you are using, may be what is called, high-density RAM . When the BP6 was being developed and tested, this type of RAM was not available. They will not work in the BP6 . You can use 256MB RAM that are single or double-de...

Was thinking about this one... The extra connector shouldn't be a factor. I just wanted to know if the PSU was the older ATX-style PSU or, like your's, the newer ATX-style PSU. Need to know some specific information. With your old PSU, your system would not shutdown properly, some times. At what poi...

I have emailed him a couple time about other things. I asked him if we could reference his site here. Cool guy!
