No, as far as ASUS is concerned, they are limiting which boards will support it and which won't.
It makes sense, though, because ASUS doesn't want to aid the competition.
They want people to buy their specific motherboards to use a Dothan as a desktop processor.
On their website, they even make a comparison with the 855GM based desktop boards that are currently being offered by other manufacturers, such as Aopen.
Available in UK at last! :banana:
CPU City

so which mobos currently supported by this adapter thingey
Asus p4p800 se, p4p800 vm, p4c800 e-deluxe and the P4GPL-X.
Motherboards which supports Dothan cpus.
With an ASUS CT-479 adaptor this will support:Code:Manufactor: Model Name: Chipset: DDR Type: AGP/PCI-E
DFI 855GME-MGF 855GME DDR1 AGP4X
Aopen i855GMEm-LFS 855GME DDR1 AGP4X
Aopen i915GMm-HFS 915GM DDR1/2 PCI-E 16x
Is that right?Code:Manufactor: Model Name: Chipset: DDR Type: AGP/PCI-E
ASUS P4P800 SE 865G DDR1 AGP8X
ASUS P4P800-VM 865PE DDR1 AGP8X
ASUS P4GPL-X 915P DDR1 PCI-E 16x
ASUS P4C800 E-Deluxe 875P DDR1 AGP8X
Those are the only motherboards that the support has been added to.
Like I said in a previous post, I think I've come up with a fairly easy way to make them work with any motherboard, but I'd like to test it before I post a guide.
Yeah I know thats why I asked if they were right ;) So what is the change then? Bios change I suppose.
It's P4C800 E-Deluxe. It's wrong in your "Code".
And also the Aopen 915 supports DDR1 aswell.
Yeah, just a simple patch to the bios.Quote:

best is p4GD1 ??
> ddr 2 , pcie , vcore , 915p...
also price is good
anyone know anything about another bios?
The Dothan would benefit more from low latency DDR, opposed to high frequency/bandwidth DDR2.Quote:

P4GD1 uses standard DDR memory:
"- Dual channel memory architecture
- 4 x 184-pin DIMM sockets support max. 4GB DDR 400/333 non-ECC memory"
So does P4GPL-X, but it only got two memory slots. Price difference here in Sweden is $1, so the choice is easy.

p4p800 e-deluxe use 865 chipset
It's not like it matters....
Anyone know where to get this 1009.001 beta bios for p4p800se?
The newest that's available on their website is the 1008. They removed it from their regional news, but kept it on the global and in the download section:
http://www.asus.com/support/download...20SE&Type=BIOS
Just a word of warning: This BIOS removes support for most of the Northwood series and some of the Prescott series. It only supports a select number of Prescotts, and all of the Dothan and Banias Pentium M's. This means that if something were to go wrong with the adapter, you would need to buy a specific Prescott to repair it.
If you need a bios that supports a specific Northwood or Prescott, in addition to the Dothan and Banias, I can check if it's included. If it isn't, I'll add support for it.
Many thanks to you teqguy! :woot:
...okay, I have to admit, my enthusiasm was dampemed somewhat when I realized the link was not to the 1009 bios but to the 1008 that I'm already using and is readily available :rolleyes: .
Still, thanks for your time and reply teqguy. :toast:
BTW: 1008 bios works fine with 2.4c Northwood.

Prepare to be enthused:
