This capacitor does seem to have some issues with its "optischer Zustand"! It looks even worse IRL as the image dosn't show just how deformed it actually is. It looks like the previous owner has eventually damaged this capacitor during connecting the 3-pin fan and /or the IDE cable... Edit: looks …

Alright. Now i understand. I thought that the Tualatin has a fully locked multi, but acc. to your tests, the lower ones are open and higher than default are locked. For me, the 10x140 setting is the one i would prefer. I have not an i440BX board, instead i have a board with i815EP chipset. According …

What do you think? will the Barton 3000+ beat the Thoroughbred B "2900+"? :D Interesting comparisons. According to tests back in the day, we have seen that AMD has set the 3000+ (for the 166FSB version) too 'optimistic'. They have tried to release a counterpart to intel's 3.06GHz CPU. More …

Interesting: The KT7-Raid fails already at 112MHz. 😵 The KT7A-Raid does 133MHz, but fails at 166MHz or not?! The KG7-Raid does 166MHz 😀 Edit: Looking at the board's layout, the floppy port at KG7 is even worse compared to the KT7... 😊

Not really rare, but already requested at market place that it costs ~20 to 30 bucks... All Tualatin cores need a FC-PGA2 compatible socket 370, or you use a compatible slot-adapter for a slot-1 board. It depends on you, when you compare the benchmarks i've already posted with ~30% to 35% speed …

Alternatively, you can also buy a lower clocked Celeron-Tualatin (eg. 1000A) and overclock. For example, i've got a Celeron 1000A for 5 bucks last year. According to the values from 'tomshardware', i've posted already, the interpolated values (the italic typed values, they are estimated, be aware) …

The only truly decent Celeron was the Mendocino. The difference between the Celeron-Tualatin and the "-S" Tualatin is: - higher FSB clock - Data prefech - cache latency Be aware that the "-S" Tualatin was a server CPU. Not for the normal home market. Regarding the market back in the day, i would …

Short driver test if my 'cheap' - 3€ 3dfx voodoo1 is working... Also to test the V2... (Windows 2D quality of the onboard ATI rage pro was quite bad. Maybe because of the internal drivers from Win98. The GF2-MX with the 12.41 detonator, the picture quality was good instead.)
