8/31の時点でSLOT1用の下駄は完成したそうです。Socket370用はまだテスト中らしい。 ↓これによると最低でもBXかそれ以上のチップセットのマザーとFSB133のサポートがあれば動くっぽい。 -------------------------- Hi, A quick reminding: 1) PL-iP3 new rev. for the Tualatin been done and verified successfully. 2) Neo for the Tualatin seems possible, still testing.
There're some limitations: You'll need at least BX and above chipset based MB also the FSB-133MHz. BIOS upgrade seems not as critical as we thought. Please don't ask for more, we'll keep you posted. Otherwise, I might be kicked out of the Lab for good. BTW, the speed increase is awesome in the 3D Games.
We've done the PL-iP3/T sample, and it's much better than we've expected. As for VIA, at least the VIA Apollo-Pro seems working fine with the same design. This version will send to mass-production for sure. We're also working on the Socket-370 side, stay tuned, please.
鱈下駄,未BIOSアップグレードのBH6で動作してるらしい。 もしかしたら後で"Super SMPバージョン"をだすかもしれないとのこと(DUAL対応?)。 ----- Hi, I'm in the lab using the Abit Slot-1 BH6 MB and PL-iP3/T w/1.13GHz P-III (Tualatin core) to write this message, no need to upgrade the BIOS to get it to work (Althrough the POST screen told it's the 850MHz???), everything runs smoothly, FYI.
1) Current PL-iP3 supports the P-III SMP (Coppermine core) up to 1.1GHz. 2) If we keep the SMP support on the PL-iP3/T, the PCB size will be doubled, that's not cost-effective. Maybe some time later we'll do a "Super SMP Tualatin Upgrade", who knows. 3) We've the Renaissance/370S for the Dell, Compaq and IBM "Motherboard Upgrade" solution. FYI, none of the standard ATX mainboards can be used in these name-brand PCs--- They accounts for 30%+ market share, but no MB upgrade solution, kinda weired!
----- Hi, We believe most BP6 owners are typical power users, we shall listen to you guys. It's too early to give more info on this enhanced Neo adapter, we're sure the LX,BX,815 and VIA chipset based PGA-370 MBs now can use it to upgrade to Tualatin. Please stay tuned, gentlemen.
