I've tested the upgradeware Slot-T on quite a few 133 Mhz capable Slot-1 mainboards, including an overclocked Asus P3B-F. All worked with the 1,4S. The Powerleap will put less stress on the VRMs, since it does its own power housekeeping on the PCB. 370 LinLin socket adapter in combination with a …

I have both revision A1 and B1. On my revision A1, that Mosfet is not present, although the solder landings for it are prepared. The IC in the far upper right corner is also not populated. On the revision B1, the Mosfet element is present: PHB 55N03LTA PHm 0122 A1 as is the IC next to it (towards …

Try a pi calculation test and see how that fares. The Coppermine is a good architecture. The P4 only really shows its teeth at SSE(2) instructions and at high FSB speeds. Your Cellie is probably a late one, and capable of much higher stock speeds than the one it got on its final label. A PIII at the …

I'm intrigued where the real strengths of say the Serverworks chipset lie. Not in Q3A, obviously... It's clearly not the ultimate gaming experience, unless your tendencies lie somewhere in the SM-spectrum :d. The Supermicro is my standard SCSI and ATA disk test bed, and runs very smoothly under …

I think there's a typo in the first charts, you got i820 twice and no i815 ^^ great job though! I've tested 2 i820, one early implementation (AOPEN AX6C), one more recent (Iwill DS133-R). The slowest is always the Aopen. The i815 is covered by the i815ep (TUSL2-C). No difference between the i815 or …

First question you should ask is whether the upgrade is necessary in terms of performance. If your current system struggles with games that are a tad too heavy, a change in a few MHz might not make much of a difference. Apart from that, another upgrade might make more sense (faster disk, GPU or more …
