Well, looks like i will have to wait some time for my Tyan Tiger 133 and while waiting i have to use my old Microstar 6120 dual mobo. The problem is if i run with 2 plain p3 not coppermine, the machine works fine, but when i put 2 coppermine 600Mhz/133Mhz slot1 the machine freaks out! win2k stops workin, you cant install it eather...it locks up whole the time or somethin else happens. Did anyone get a 6120 working with coppermines? ????
