I plan on upgrading my current P3 1 GHz to a 1,13 Tualatin. My question is, does my current motherboard, Asus CUSL2-C support Tualatin?
No. The CUSL2-C will support up to the current 1GHz P3s only. The upcoming 1.13 and 1.26GHz P3s are based on a revised processor design, the 0.13 micron Tualatin core. The CUSL2-C can only support the 0.18 micron Coppermine core Pentium III chips. The new B-step of the i815 chipset that the TUSL2-C has will support these new 0.13 Tualatin chips whereas all of the existing i815 chips like those used in the CUSL2-C cannot, and will not be able to run the 0.13 Tualatin at all. The TUSL2-C supports all of the processors that the CUSL2-C can in addition to the 1.13 and 1.26 GHz Tualatins.
