True some Dell Latitude C400 came with 1.33ghz P3 but they all seem to be soldered as well. Thing is, if the BGA cpu could be desoldered and added some pins to it so that it could fit the socket, it would be cool. But I dont think the connectors align with the socket and it would almost impossible …

Hi everyone, I wanted to upgrade my machine and reading some posts it seems that the pentium III-M 1333mhz is the best option. I read it can be found in toshiba portege 3500 but only in BGA which is not accessible to take and use it to upgrade. Do you guys know of where I can find that cpu or a …

Hi, recently I reinstalled windows 8 consumer preview on my thinkpad t23 in dual boot with xp (cuz for some reason triple boot with linux doesnt work). This version of windows is dated thats why Im posting here, not sure if its the right place. Thing is, I wanted to install python which requieres …

From what I've seen thats not bad I believe. In some benchmarks I've seen online it is not much worse than an ati rage 128. Also those extra 8mb of vram will benefit some games I tried in the Acer laptop. Hopefully compatibility and performance will at least be better than ati rage m1

Considering my minecraft experiment and my love for benchmarking (and previous success with minecraft on the toshiba portege 3440ct with a weaker S3) I will adquire the t23 laptop, make some benchmarks and post something later on. S3 Supersavage is not a card many people seem to know, barely any …

We yeah, thing is I already have a nice i7 laptop. Im interested in P3s as a hobby, to see how far I can push a system. This T23 has a S3 SuperSavage/IXC AGP 4x 16mb vram which should be a nice improvement right?

It is sad that ati didnt support this card the way it should. Thanks for the link, I will try and compile it and come back with results as soon as possible. I guess I had really high hopes for this laptop, Im conflicted cuz I really like it tho haha I mean there are other options which are more …

This chip is not powerful at all and barely has memory to run age appropriate games but being 8mb of vram it can still do something. For example, I also had a toshiba portege 3440ct with only 128mb of ram, pentium iii at 500mhz and a S3 Savage graphics which is also 8mb of vram, minecraft did run on …

Yep, its old, slow and barely does 3D, but why not I mean, I got to a title screen that surely means something. And in theory old MC could work with opengl 1.2 if Im not wrong. I might be stretching the capabilities of this laptop but Im having fun and learning a ton. I just need a little something …

I found this Acer Travelmate 529atxv pentium iii 900mhz around 3 months ago at a local shop, in a pretty dusty corner. Got it for 20€ and proceeded to install windows xp. It worked okaish so I maxed the ram to 512mb and added an ssd (long story). Performanced didnt increase much, directx 9 worked …
