Upgrading to Tualatin

[Guest]

What are the chances of a Tualatin chip working on an FC-PGA motherboard? Do they work on a 133MHz bus? I suppose I'd need a bios update

Secondly, anyone know how high clock rate of the Tualtin will go?

Last I heard, they're killing it off. Too bad, it'd be an awesome replacement for the celery, albeit more expensive.

very low as they require a different voltage not available on the previous 370 boards. Intel really have a thing about not keeping board standards very long.

Yeah, because they make motherboards. If AMD made motherboards, it'd be the same thing.

Hi,

Tulatins just work on a bit lower voltage, 1.2 against 1.5 of Coppermine and they use the same socket 370 and the FCPGA package. And the i815E/EP rev B0 is designed to support them. there are already some motherboards like Asus TUSL2 and TUSL2-C that support both processors.

as for current boards supporting the Tulatin, its not possible not only due to lower core voltage but also the new different clock. so there will be no socket convertors for them.

future Tulatins are expected to work on frequencies more than 133MHz, posibly the 400MHz Quad pumped P4 bus and have more L2 cache.
