I have an ECS P6BAT-A+ board that is designed for a Slot-1 PII/PIII or a Socket 370 PPGA Celeron.
Performance is a bit limited (my daughter has bought Sims 2!) and I was thinking of getting a second-hand 800MHz Socket 370 PIII with 100Mhz FSB (the board doesn't support 133MHz FSB, unfortunately).
The board's manual explicitly says that it supports "FC-PGA P-III processors", "except for 133MHz FC-PGA in the 370 socket". Is an 800/100 P-III a "FC-PGA" chip ? Ought this setup (probably) to work ?
Thanks for any input

FCPGA support depends on motherboard revision .
Rev 1.x do support SECC"/FCPGA only in Slot-1 (FCPGA via Slocket) - Socket370 is PPGA Celeron only
Rev 2.x is FCPGA-compatible in Slot-1 and socket-370
Rev 1.x do support SECC"/FCPGA only in Slot-1 (FCPGA via Slocket) - Socket370 is PPGA Celeron only
Rev 2.x is FCPGA-compatible in Slot-1 and socket-370
