P3TDE6 and 1,7 V Core PIII

Hello.
I have aquestion: the VRM of the P3TDE36 main PCB is specified to deliver
a core voltage up to 1,5V. I read about some tests using 'normal' (no Tualatin)
PII CPUs with success on this mainboard.
I have two PIII 866 Mhz Coppermines and I need to know whether these chips
a capable to be driven by this mainboard or not.

Thank you very much,
Oliver

If the Coppermine chips were rated for MP use, they will work. I don't know if all
are rated that way or not. But I speak from experience with two 733 MHz / 256K
cache coppermines in this board.
