Revision C and earlier of the Soyo does not run Coppermine at any speed. Most revision D boards don't work either. Revision E work fine and probably should work fine with any multiplier, since the motherboard multiplier setting is ignored with these chips. The revision is stamped on the corner of the board (I think on the underside).

I ran a Celemine 533A (8X multiplier) at 960 MHz on the Soyo (revision E).

I've never used the BX6 2.0, but it should work fine assuming the BIOS are up to date.

I have BX6R2 running at 733, it supports up to 850, people running it at 933.

Flash the bios for higher support.

all abit bx6 will support coppermine in one way or another.

the key thing to consider is the voltage regulator. Since 1.8V is not excessive and usually necessary, its okay to use on some of the older boards.

any 133 (via) mobo will support celermine.

btw if you run a celeron 633 on a board that supports say 6x multiple. it will boot up and say (6x100) (overclocked) but will really run at 9.5x100.

Its just aesthetics, sisoft sandra and everything else will prove to you the real speed. BTW, these are great cpu's . The batch is 08/31/00 which is probably in line with the CC0 p3 core.
