You need a different board than the BP6 unless you can effectively re-engineer & re-work the things that make the BP6 incompatible. This means soldering things to the board. No 1.5 volt CPU support.
Single P-III/11000E@1.21GHz (110MHz FSB) is about the best single CPU setup going for the BP6. Many have tried to get to 124MHz & few succeeded. Your 1.4GHz CPU would end up clocked at 110/133*1.4GHz anyway so you end around 1.2Ghz anyway - even if it could work.
Now if you had the 1300/256K/100/1.5v chip, that would be more interesting since it would OC to 110FSB giving 1.43GHz
Celeron II 1,4 ghz on a bp6
The software "Rise Of Abit BP6" allowed you to select CPU voltages ~1.5V IIRC.
I have the software, but cannot find a link to it anywhere.
If you want to try it, send email to InactiveX@hotmail.com with the subject "ROABP6x.exe" and I'll post it to you (35K).

onelegdis & sr1154,
Neither Upgradeware nor PowerLeap are willing to do the work needed to figure out how to make their adapters work on the ABIT BP6. Have you seen BP6 listed on their compatibility lists?? I'm not tackling this job!
I even bought an ACORP-6A815ED/EPD board with IDE RAID for $40 on E-Bay just to have something (listed as dual P3 compatible @Upgradeware)to run DUAL P3-Tualatin. Then I looked up the price for the 370GU adapter =>$35 EA *(2)=$70+shipping. I will have to pay almost twice the price of the m-board just to add the Tualatin CPU compatibility adapters! Now I still have to buy the (2) CPUs! I'm waiting for the CPU prices to drop first. At least I'll end up with RAID then.
My conclusion - do the BP6 single P-III/1100E+Neo370 and OC it to 110MHz. The end result of a single 1.21GHz P-III/256K cache is pretty damn good for a 3-year old M-board. Got my last P3-1100E for $99 on E-Bay last week.
