[RESOLVED] Wanted- Info on Dual Flip Chip board?

[Darren Wilson]

Does anyone know of such a board that is available?? I was going to go for the Abit BP6 but upon reading upon their site the board does not support the Flip Chip anyway (for any doubters read HERE )so I cannot go with that one.

Don't want to go for a dual Slot 1 board as I have been offered a cracking deal on Flip Chip Processors adn I don't feel confident with the Slot-Ket convertors.

Shame the Asus board has an onboard ATI card

It looks perfect apart from the onboard video and the lack of an AGP slot.

Oh well the quest continues........

Go to motherboards.org, they have a listing of the major board manufacturers. Thats where I go to find something new.

If you are still searching for a dual flip chip board Darren, check this out.
If you want to do some more research regarding the BP6 and the issues supporting flip chip processors with that board, go to www.bp6.com They have a link to www.powerleap.com whom have developed a flip chip socket convertor called the NEO S-370 so it will allow you to use 2 pIII processors. Abit also plans to manufacture a newer revision of the bp6 to take care of the flip chip issue. I'm using one right now with two standard celeron 466's overclocked to 525mhz each to get over a 1ghz with both combined together. I'm not an extreme overclocker like some other people, I still want stability. I plan to order two of those powerleap NEO s-370's when the higher end PIII's get lower in price. Check it out if you are still interested.

Mmmm SOunds interesting. The only thing that worries me is the converters. I hae neer had much faith in these items (especially teh SlotKet type). I may plump for the Microstar board in teh end unless someone else brings out a board without the need fo rconverters or onboard Sound & VGA.

do you want dual pIII's or dual celeronII's, because i know that intel has disabled the ability to run 2 cpus for the celeronII's.

also, two 525 mhz cpu's doesn't mean that you are running at over one ghz, you are just running two threads at 525 mhz each
