I'm sure this group has seen its fair share of questions regarding
this enigma, but I'm seeking to get this socket 370 1GHz celeron chip
working with my P6SBA motherboard. I flashed the BIOS to the latest
rev and my PCB is rev 2.x... so I'm pretty sure I have the correct
voltage regulator.

I'm wondering if I'm even CLOSE to getting this thing to work. What
happens is when I put the CPU on the board, I boot it up... POST
screen comes up (everything looks normal, BIOS even shows the presence
of a 1000Mhz processor).. starts detecting IDE drives.. Then sometimes
it freezes here. Sometimes though, it makes it into the OS boot-up
sequence THEN freezes.

So, am I completely S.O.L.? Or is there something I can do to get
this puppy to work? HELP! I feel like I'm close to really getting
this system up to speed but its just out of reach.

Check your memory. If it makes it through POST, it should work. Do you
have the FCPGA or FCPGA2 Celeron? It should say on the packaging.
Lastly, I take it you're using a slocket. Have you used that slocket
before?

I sure that the final BIOS for the P6SBA (and all of the P6SBA's
cousins) have no provisions for the CPU microcode of those latter-day
P3 Celerons.

The final BIOS for the P6SBA (V3.1) was for compatibility with the
Slot-1 1000 MHz P3 Coppermine.
