i relise you said that but i have a diffrent board version than you do...also at upgradewares website they said that certain 6163 pros are incompatable...

I am assuming by io chip they mean south bridge...and mine has the red sticker on it...if i hadn't found this out...i would have bought the thing by now...

3 386DX-25's...12 volts...glue some ln2 and a wicked amount of overclocking and you get a willamantee minus 36 pins, 33.75 million transistors and a couple hundred mhz... 😎

GRR! Did you read this?

* Please check first if your mainboard have a blue sticker with letter "C" located in the I/O chip, if yes, that means your system could support Intel Coppermine/Tualatin CPU. (The I/O chip is located beside the Primary IDE connector)

They want to make SURE your board supports the lower voltage needed for the adapter, but making sure it's VRM 8.4, by making sure it's Coppermine compatable!

You're ALREADY running a Coppermine CPU on it, you said it ran fine at stock voltage (1.65v), this means it has a VRM 8.4 voltage regulator...so what's the problem?

i dunno...i did not know thats why they wanted me to check my i/o chip...i thought it was some sort of incompatability...i really don't know...i wanted to play it safe...

it appears from the documentation at the website that they mearly wish to confirm your motherboard's ability to support lower voltages.
