Re: Asus CUR-DLS

Only reference to FWH in downloaded CURDLS-100.PDF refers to item 17 of the component locations

I reckon that's a typo

BIOS history shows support being added for SST 39SF040 and MXIC MX29F040, neither of which are FWH chips

If you really want BIOS 1005, try ftp://ftp.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/sock3...works/cur-dls/

I DL's the most recent v1011 BIOS.
Peering inside it, I find uCode updates for Tualatins, specifically
SL5XL and SL657, being these are 1.4GHz PIII-S. There are furthermore,
a number of tualatins supported in the uCode update.
I have listed these in the attachment.

Q - I don't have a Tualatin at the mo. Can somebody perhaps,
test this to see if works? Again, the Asus docs only state
support up to 1GHz coppermine. I have tested SL5FQ (two of)
and these work correctly. Bearing in mind the SL5FQ are FC-PGA2,
Tualatins may work - I would like to find out.

Any help appreciated

Re: Asus CUR-DLS

Ans.

I found a number of SL5XL in an Intel SDS2 I have.
Installed these in the CUR-DLS. System will not post.
Obviously the pin out for a Tualatin PIII-S and Celeron
differs from a coppermine (as is well known).

As such, albeit the coppermine do come in a FC-PGA2
or rather, are dressed as an FC-PGA2 to the extent
they have heat spreaders, they are not wired the same as
Tualatins which are in a FC-PGA2 package also.

I suppose a Lin Lin s730 adapter might do the trick.
I do recollect I have one of these spare.
Will try this with the CUR-DLS in single CPU mode.

Any suggestions or can others confirm results?

Re: Asus CUR-DLS

Y - The adapter appears to work, rather the system
POSTS with the adapter and single CPU in CPU1
i.e. a PIII-S 1.4GHz 133MHz Tualatin SL5XL.

I will, of course, try to get another adapter to try
this in dual processor mode.

Does any other forum members have differing experiences?

Thx.
