Re: Socket 7 to SLOT 1 adapter?

Posted on Today, 05:37

(...) I have for example PII 400 SL2S7 which can be clocked 133Mhz (2x66 without L2) and 166Mhz(2.5x66MHz with L2) up to 5x100MHz stable. That's nice, and being a Deschutes core, you must be able to almost run it on passive cooling at 133 MHz? Probably yes, but I only tested it at this speed, and …

Slowest Slot 1 CPU is Pentium II 233 Klamath (or maybe cacheless Celeron 266MHz) ? Besides that, some SLOT1 cpus are multiplier unlocked. Lowest possible multiplier is 2x (automatically disabling L2 cache) or 2.5x with L2 enabled. I have for example PII 400 SL2S7 which can be clocked 133Mhz (2x66 …

Some Pentium III Coppermine 1000 overclocking with MSI 815E Pro and ATI Radeon 8500 retail. Actually I didn't find the CPU max and hit the motherboard's roof. 7.5x166 is the max I can get from BIOS and it works without issues. I would guess this wont divide PCI/AGP clocks beyond 133. Now I …

I picked up two things today, only one of which is fully retro by most people's standards. image0.jpg Yeah, dud, I got a dell. It's a rubber dome keyboard, but hey, it feels rather nice for one. It's also much smaller in volume and size when compared to my previous cheap keytronics model M clone. I …

Abit PB4 revision 1.3, based on ALI M1487/1489 chipset (Acer). Recently i spent time to check couple of late/good 486 motherboards with POD100 CPUs. One of them was Abit PB4. It didn't work with the POD100 at all - couldn't get half way through POST. Tried hard, jumper settings and everything, but …

Btw. are Deschutes Pentium IIs capable of caching more than 512MB of RAM? Klamath PIIs supposedly aren't. Edit: nvm found the info: Deschutes can apparently cache up to 4GiB of RAM. Afaik, there's both a 266 and a 333 Deschutes, that only caches 512MiB. The actual difference is made by the Tag RAM, …

I picked this 420EX Aries 486 board. It is interesting as all other 420EX boards I've seen only had PCI slots. This is the first 486 board with Intel chipset and VL-Bus I have. https://dependency-injection.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/DSC_9391-1-scaled.jpeg Cool board! Not many jumpers, though?

I bought a 333MHz Celeron but was sent a 266MHz Pentium 2. If the seller gives me the option to keep or send back I was wondering what CPU was likely to be faster? I've got a 66FSB Slot 1 system. Mendocino cache was smaller but faster. At the same clock, it was neck-and-neck with a Deschutes P2 or …

Better video, well.... The plan is to use an RF modulator replacement. It is a modern tiny board, that just passes S-Video and Composit through. The original modulators are a major signal degrader.
