Anyone familiar with the Abit III or Asus S370 Slotket adapter boards?
"moe" wrote in message ... I have a BX Slot 1 board whose Bios can handle PIII's up to 1Gig, unfortunately the voltage regulator on the version I have is only capable of getting down to 2.0 v. I'm looking into using a Slotket adapter since it appears that they provide for voltage adjustment that will get down to the PIII's 1.6 - 1.7 v range. The literature on the Abit III or Asus S370 Slotket adapter boards talks about jumpers for voltage adjustment but nowhere does it state that the boards are actually capable of voltage regulation. Does the jumper setting actually regulate the voltage on the card or does it just send a request for the specified voltage to the motherboard and depend on the motherboard to actually provide the voltage control? Does anyone who has any experience with these adapters let me know if either of these units would provide the necessary voltage control to allow me to run a PIII processor on a motherboard whose lowest voltage output is 2.0 v. Thanks moe On a previous computer with slot 1 Asus P3V4X motherboard, I installed an Asus socket 370 adaptor. No jumpers or settings at all. Just plugged in and it worked with my new Pentium III socket 370 of 1 GHz. Really plug and play. |
