0810 -
081001 - Brad has received the letter, ref DIP 1 0001, but has not had time to
081002 - respond.
081003 -
081004 - While we talked, we looked at the record on the Internet.  Brad said
081005 - the research on 000916, ref SDS 18 0897, seems fairly thorough.
081006 -
081007 - He commented as follows...
081008 -
081009 - Pentium III 850 FCPG 256KB L2 CACHE100MHZ
081010 - P3 Flip Chip # BX80526F850256E
081011 -
081012 -     Brad said this is for a chip that connects horizontally into the
081013 -     board.  Since our processor connects vertically, we cannot use
081014 -     this chip.
081015 -
081016 -  ..
081017 - Pentium III 850 MHz/256K L2 cache 100MHz

081019 -
081020 -     Brad says we can use this processor.
081021 -
081022 - Pentium III 800 EB-MHz Proc 256K Cache
081023 - 133MHz FC-PGA # BX80526C800256E
081024 -
081025 -     Brad says the the 133 MHz refers to bus speed, and since we have a
081026 -     100 Mhz bus we cannot use this chip.
