CUSL2 Motherboard and Intel 1GHz Celeron
Hey Guys,
I know this is a really old MB but hoping someone may be able to stretch their memory back to aid me in my quest to upgrade. I have a CUSL2 MB I have upgraded to the latest (1009) BIOS and it works fine with my Celeron 566 I looked at the CPU table for this MB on the asus web site and it says that with this BIOS revision it will support a 1GHz Celeron (I think the max was a 1.1Ghz Celeron or a 1GHz P3 off the top of my head). I obtained a Intel Celeron 1000 from a friend who was upgrading. However my MB will not run with it installed. I have read through a lot of documentation and I get the feeling that the CPU will not run in my MB because it requires 1.475 V setting and my MB can only run as low as 1.5 V. This statement may be wrong but is the best guess can make at this point. There is one other odd thing though the 1GHz CPU has the following printed on the labels INTEL (MxC)'01 MALAY 1000A/256/100/1.475 Q228A636-0037 CELERON SL5ZF when I looked up the S-Spec(SL5ZF) on the intel web site it says it should be a 1.5 V chip not a 1.475V chip. The CPU is a FC-PGA2 as far as I can tell as it has a aluminium heat spreader attatched to the die. When I insert the CPU and switch on my machine it makes an alarm sound consisting of a long Beep of one tone then a long beep of another tone and continues in this pattern. Any advice would be appreciated. Eamon. |

Your board was only designed to run the older Coppermine cored FC-PGA
version CPU. ie - the older Celeron 1000 without the A suffix, and without the Heat spreader. The 1000A CPU that you have is the Tualatin cored FC-PGA2 version that will not normally run on your board. A newer board that supports Tualatin cored FC-PGA2 CPUs is required to run it, such as the TUSL2, or an adaptor is required as below. The part number of the board was changed from CUSL2 to TUSL2 when the Tualatin core support was added. There are adaptors available to allow a Tualatin CPU to operate on a Coppermine only board. Such as the following 370GU from Upgradewa http://www.upgradeware.com/english/p...70gu/370gu.htm I've never used one, so I dont know how successful they are. John S. "Eamon Reyn" wrote in message ...

Eamon:
As Muttley stated, you have a Tualatin cored FC-PGA2 Celeron processor, and your board will only support the Coppermine based Celeron/PIII processors. Kind of like trying to install a V6 motor into a car designed for a straight 6. It can be done, you just need some modifications. You will require an adapter to use it. www.powerleap.com www.powerleap.ca Either site will give you an idea of what you would require and how much to pay. I am thinking of upgrading my CUV266 as it uses DDR RAM and the bottleneck apparently is my PIII 1 gig Coppermine processor Jim "Eamon Reyn" wrote in message ...

Hi,
I think that you have a celeron "Tualatin" version. I remenber that this version not run in a CUSL2. A "new" MB model TUSL2 and TUSL2-C exist for processor pakaged in PGA2. Perhaps with a adaptator FC-PGA - FC-PGA2 ? Adolfo "Eamon Reyn" a écrit dans le message de ...
