VP6 vs. BP6

Post by marqus »

Hi,

why not using the VP6? It supports FCPGa Chips an 133FSB without any mods. Is there a major disadvantage with that board?

thanx,

no probs at all.
you might say, we are original purists for the 'first' dual processor board to run original celerons.

the VP6 is just an evolution and is designed for proper Pentium chips.

if you had a VP6, you wouldn't waste a 533 celeron in it, you'd get Piii 1.133's
dya see ?

P-III 1.133 in Dual (over 2.2Ghz) with LOTS of ram.
The only way to make it better is get a FC-PGA2 dual board with DDR...but then you wouldn't "belong" on BP6.com. You would still be a welcome guest...just not a family member.
There are *almost* no bad BP6s. There are mostly bad caps.

No BP6s remaining
Athlon 2800
Sempron 2000
