I would rather go for socket 370 than slot 1, as it is easier to come up with a silent / nearly silent cooling solution for S370 CPUs. Slot 1 CPU coolers are usually just good enough, you are limited to loud 40/50mm fan(s) and you could end up having clearance issues with memory, caps, etc. I have …

Coppermine CPUs are not compatible with slot 1 without a slotket adapter. Yes they are, if board's BIOS and VRM supports them. Slot-1 Coppermines up to at least 1GHz exist. (Maybe even 1133 MHz, but that's more doubtful if they were released or not). Yes exactly, the BIOS needs to be updated,bois …

Coppermine CPUs are not compatible with slot 1 without a slotket adapter. I don't really see the point in getting a pricier slot 1 board if you know for sure you are going to use that particular CPU. A socket 370 board with an ISA slot will work just as well. A pentium III can be made to run at …
