Mine is Gigabyte GA-6VTXE. I purchased it as a replacement for existing GA-6VXE7+ and used with a coppermine 1000 for a time, happily. Now it has a 1.4 Tualatin and I'm even happier..😀

Thanks,

Looks like they are quite hard to come by also

Slightly off topic but can I ask also how you installed 95 98 and ME together?

I tried using an old version of System Commander but my TFT didn't support the resolution it was trying to use on boot and I got an 'out of range' message.

Thanks

In my opinion during this period (few months) Tualatin's mainboard are became hard to find and more expensive.
Do you need overclock settings?

My tip is to keep your eye out for OEM boards. I have two from Acer that are fully Tualatin compatible with the Intel 815 chipset. The challenge is finding out which board is actually compatible.

Which Tualatin boards are compatible with the Pentium 3 S version? I heard that some non-server boards refuse to work with them.

I have 2 Asus Tusl2-c boards, They are the best imho.

I have one QDI SynactiX 5EP V2.0 with Intel 815EP chipset running Tualatin S 1.4GHz cpu right on my desk now with box and manual.

and when you decide to wear the big-boy pants, you can get boards like the Tyan S2688, the Intel SDS2, or the Supermicro P3TDE6-G

I have an Asus TUV4X, as well as an Intel SDS2.. Both have their good points, if the SDS2 had an AGP slot it would be perfect 😀

Maybe it could be but have you ever used Abit ST6 Raid?

If you can find a really cheap CUSL2 then you could perhaps fit a modified Tualatin from Ebay into the budget?

Finding a cheap TUSL2 seems pretty much impossible, at least in Sweden but I see CUSL2 boards very often.

Are you talking about this pinmod?

You will able to run only Tualatin that works with 1.5v with this mod if you do this mod with Tualatin that works with 1.45-1.475v, you will have problems ( crash, blue screen etc)

No we are talking about this mod which probably is pretty similar. It works fine as long as the motherboard supports the Tualatin voltage range and has BIOS support, CUSL2 runs these CPUs perfectly. I have 3 of these, all of them have a stock vid of 1.45v.

Woow great point 😀
I didn't know this adapter I have to buy one of them

This Korean guy on Ebay will sell you an adapter without the CPU but the adapter isnt easy to install so its better to just buy the whole CPU with the socket adapter already soldered to it. You get a discount if you buy more than one as the shipping is included in the price. He has the Celeron 1400 aswell in case someone needs 100 MHz FSB, I run one of those in an Abit BH6 with a FCPGA slotket.

Good point, i didn't. I tested a few through the years and the Tusl2-c is my favorite. I do have a preference for asus boards (but the asus tuv4x is far less stable with agp cards) but sure, there are more great boards.

Abit made great boards (as did for example epox, aopen and msi) but i had far less problems with leaking capacitors or doa with asus boards. Almost every used Asus board that came in my house simply worked, as almost EVERY msi board and epox board was dead. Abit and Gigabyte were somewhere in the middle, some worked, some didn't.

That experience (and features, stability) makes me a fan of Asus but other people will have other experiences. With hardware as old as 15-25 years it can very well be simply luck.

Sorry, I didn't see your post, so I'm a bit late. My favorite multibooter is a small dos package called "Master Booter" and you can find it in here:

http://www.masterbooter.com/main/news.php?lang=en

I have the registered version (30 USD) which can boot 8 different systems, but even shareware version is able to boot 3 systems. It is a very nice package, easy to use, it's bootable floppy image is fantastic, and its documentation is very helpful. This one is a text mode booter, so I don't think you will have a problem with your monitor.

I want to buy a similar CPU from my country
I came from Italy and this seller lives far away
