ABIT BE6-II and Pentium III 1 GHz

[Guest]

Hi
I have an ABIT BE6-II motherboard and I would like to upgrade the processor Celeron 500MHz on Pentium III 1 GHz/100MHz FSB. It's that realy?
Sorry for my English!

You sould not have any problems installing a p3 1000mhz with a fsb of 100mhz but you will need to update your bios. .bin files and info on how to do that can be found on abit`s website www.abit-usa.com (I think)

You could even get a 133fsb if you have pc133 RAM and dont mind a little overclocking.

I had a p3 550E @ 733mhz & FSB 133mhz on that board without any problems before getting my new system

I would HIGHLY recommend you choose the 1000EB (133FSB) because it's CHEAPER and performs BETTER. With your motherboard you can use a 133MHz FSB with a 33MHz PCI bus, the only thing that gets overclocked is the video card (AGP at 89MHz instead of 66MHz) and most modern video cards can deal with that.

Back to you Tom...
