Will PIII (1.4 Ghz) work on Asus TUV4X ???

Hello Everyone,

I own an Asus TUV4X motherboard. I'm running Pentium III 700 Mhz and would
like to buy a PIII (1.4 Ghz) with 512 Kb L1 cache. I went to the Asus
website and it says that PIII 1.4 is not supported. The fastest possible is
the PIII 1.2 Ghz (256 kb cache).

I searched Google Groups and found some posts where people say they're
running 1.4Ghz with the TUV4X. However, I don't know if they have done
something special in order to make it work. Is anyone here running TUV4X
with PIII 1.4 Ghz? Please post your comments.

Thanks in advance,
Jose

I think version 1006 can support it.
Take a look:
Auto.Chip Configuration
CPU Speed
Manual

350MHz. 400MHz. 450MHz. 500MHz. 550MHz. 600MHz. 650MHz.
700MHz. 750MHz. 800MHz. 850MHz. 900MHz. 950MHz.1000MHz.
1050MHz.1100MHz.1150MHz.1200MHz.1300MHz.1400MHz.1500MHz.1600MHz.

533MHz. 600MHz. 667MHz. 733MHz. 800MHz. 866MHz. 933MHz.1000MHz.
1066MHz.1133MHz.1200MHz.1266MHz.1333MHz.1400MHz.1466MHz.
1533MHz.1600MHz.1733MHz.1866MHz.2000MHz.2133MHz

Hello Kuriaki,

Thanks for the tip. Where can I download the file? All these sites want you
to register, send an email, then they will respond you bla bla. Why is it
so difficult? Does it cost? I thought that the BIOS manufacturer will
provide the updates freely available from their site.

Thanks,
Jose

Thanks Kuriaki,

One more quesiton

HOw can I then install the update? I downloaded the zip file. When I unzip
it, there is a file called 1006.02. Should I put that on a floppy along
with a flash utility? Where can I download the utility?

I looked at the website you mentioned (supportbios.info) but couldn't find
my BIOS Info there.

Thanks,
Jose

I would take this as true..

http://www.asus.com/inside/Techref/p3tualatin.htm

I would wonder if anyone is reporting 1.4G, if they mean that they
are overclocking a processor to 1.4G.

I'd say it's misleading. It implies some motherboards can run 256K
Tualatins but not 512K Tualatins, and vice versa.

A Tualatin is a Tualatin is a Tualatin - if your board can run one, it
can run them all. Perhaps what they are trying to convey is the fact
that 256K Tualatins (both Celeron and PIII) are not dual-processor
capable - only the 512K PIII-S versions support SMP.

Dual 1.4Ghz PIII-S on a P2B-DS here - and I don't see my board on the
supported list I'm running them at stock speed because my current
video card can't handle more than an 89Mhz AGP bus, but the processors
will do 1575Mhz (150Mhz FSB) no problem.

Asus have a lot of flash programs. I can't say you which one is the correct.
Try with Aflash:
ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/BIOS/BIOS_FLASH_UTILS/DOS/AFLASH/
In the other hand you can try with AsusUpdate for Windows, but I'm not very sure if supports your mobo:
