Re: [Build Advice] Win 98 / DOS build — Help confirming parts stock + P-III w/ ASUS P2B-F motherboard

Looking over the Coppermine/100 slot-1 CPUs, the difference in TDP between the 600mhz and the 800mhz is a smidge over 1 watt. I think that pretty acceptable for the speed bump between the two. The 850mhz does take it up a noticeable notch in TDP at 25.7 watt. And if I were still pursuing the lulz …

Re: [Build Advice] Win 98 / DOS build — Help confirming parts stock + P-III w/ ASUS P2B-F motherboard

You have a very nice motherboard there (especially because it seems to be a Pentium III upgrade version - the first version was dedicated to Pentium II) and many people here, including myself, would choose to take it to the max just for the heck of it.

Think I've got one of them kicking around. So that one does coppermines, good to know. Here some documentation: Evercool.pdf …

Re: [Build Advice] Win 98 / DOS build — Help confirming parts stock + P-III w/ ASUS P2B-F motherboard

Have you had any experience with Slot-1 / Socket 370 "slocket" adapters. Seems opinions are varied on setup and reliability. But getting a 1ghz Coppermine socket 370 is WAY cheaper than slot-1 of the same speed. In principle they work fine. Two of my retro's are permanently dressed up with slotkets …
