Anyone familiar with the Abit III or Asus S370 Slotket adapter boards?

I have a BX Slot 1 board whose Bios can handle PIII's up to 1Gig, unfortunately
the voltage regulator on the version I have is only capable of getting down to
2.0 v. I'm looking into using a Slotket adapter since it appears that they
provide for voltage adjustment that will get down to the PIII's 1.6 - 1.7 v
range.

The literature on the Abit III or Asus S370 Slotket adapter boards talks
about jumpers for voltage adjustment but nowhere does it state that the boards
are actually capable of voltage regulation.

Does the jumper setting actually regulate the voltage on the card or does it
just send a request for the specified voltage to the motherboard and depend on
the motherboard to actually provide the voltage control?

Does anyone who has any experience with these adapters let me know if either of
these units would provide the necessary voltage control to allow me to run a
PIII processor on a motherboard whose lowest voltage output is 2.0 v.

Thanks

On a previous computer with slot 1 Asus P3V4X motherboard, I installed an
Asus socket 370 adaptor. No jumpers or settings at all. Just plugged in and
it worked with my new Pentium III socket 370 of 1 GHz. Really plug and play.

are you sure? what MoBo?
if the MoBo´s Bios can handle that Cpu, the voltage regulator should
go lower than 1,8Vcore!

follows the CPU request or asks MoBo for right voltage!
