Your board will support P-III CPUs, and yes I saw this table in the FAQ's on
the soyo site. I also saw the tables for the the coppermine CPU and your
board is not listed there. As I said before, the only SY-6BA model that
supports Coppermine is the SY-6BA+100. The CPU you ordered, if it is a
coppermine is the Intel Pentium III 700E FC-PGA, and your board does not
support FC-PGA processors, and since this board has been discontinued, there
is probably a very slim chance that you will find a bios upgrade to get the
board to accept a coppermine. I would avoid doing the upgrade and instead of
getting the coppermine, change your order to a regular P-III 700.
