Default Last/Fastest cB0 stepped 'gray zone' Celerons work natively on Abit ZM6/BM6?


Last/Fastest cB0 stepped Celerons work natively on Abit ZM6/BM6?

Doing a lot of digging thru google archives for this NG and hints from
abit-usa regarding various older cumine celerons and the old Abit ZM6
PPGA 370 (similar to ABit BM6).


What DOES work w/ the last flash from ABit and no adapter:

up to 600mhz cB0 1.5V Celeron FCPGA


What does NOT work: (w/o an adapter?)

1.7V cC0 Celerons (started at 566mhz)


But after doing some digging that leaves a 'few' chips in a sorta
'gray-zone' that 'might' or might not work. They might work because A)
they are cB0 stepped and B) they are not 1.7V or cC0 stepped. But they
might not work because A) 600mhz was a (antecdotal) limit and B) they
are not 1.5V either. They seem to land squarely in a gray zone!

These are the cB0 stepped Celerons between 600 and 700 mhz:

SL3W9 633mhz 1.6V PPGA *
SL48E 667mhz 1.65V PPGA *
SL4E6 700mhz 1.6V PPGA * FCPGA1
SL3VS 633mhz 1.65V FCPGA
SL4AB 667mhz 1.65V FCPGA
SL48F 700mhz 1.65V FCPGA

That was the last/fastest of the cB0s and after that it was cC0 w/
1.7V.

* I 'thought' these were considered FC-PGA but that's what Intel
listed... http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sspec/icp.htm error
on their part?

Sooooo - Any old timers remember the ABit ZM6/BM6 mobos and have any
idea about these last/fastest cB0 stepped 'gray-zone' Celeries - might
they work or not in a native install w/o an adapter?
