Right - but they are not always labeled with the trailing 'S' - so you |
| 15 |
need to check the Sspec no. for the cpu you are buying (e.g SL5QL). As |
| 16 |
for am I sure - no, just the warning "These parts are intended for |
| 17 |
server design applications, which will not work on a standard desktop |
| 18 |
board" - e.g : |

Oops - I must have mis-read your original posting - sorry. The i810E |
| 30 |
*chipset* supports 133 Mhz operation as far as I can tell... interesting |
| 31 |
that the Mobo does not. So... err all bets off for PC133 memory - it |
| 32 |
*might* work ok, but I guess you won't get as much benefit from the new |
| 33 |
cpu... |

Hmm - when I got stuck in a situation similar to this, I ditched the |
| 36 |
vendor PC mobo (an HP in my case) and bought a new one on ebay - for |
| 37 |
about $50, that fitted in the case and supported what I wanted to run |
| 38 |
(IIRC it was 1Ghz PIII and PC133 memory). |
