Awesome. Have you tried it in the P3B-F yet?

The pair of SL4KL's arrived. It cost the seller $23CAD to ship both in one box which is basically spot on for the $20 shipping I paid. Great deal to find these for sure.

I got the one I ordered today and can confirm that it is a retail packaged SL4KL with stock cooler. Its working fine in my ASUS P2B. Great news! Let's see if the seller has more. http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Intel-Pentium-III-1-0-GHz-CPU-NIB-SEALED-2000-1-0GHz-100MHz-1-Core-/131525861222? The …

I got one STB Voodoo 2 should I hold out for a second or mix with a Creative/Diamond? Avoid mixing if at all possible. Mixing brands requires hacked drivers and its just an extra hassle. Is that really true? My experience is you want to be running fastvoodoo 4.6 drivers as they are faster than the …

Sounds good. There are plenty of AWE64 gold cards around. The mean was $40 recently but I've seen it slipping. I think under $30 is a fair price. Checkout the simmcon gold with 32mb stick for some intense sound fonts.

I would stick to a single CPU setup honestly. One nice thing about having two CPUs is you could potentially be running 98SE and XP for more modern games that use two cores. Personally I always have a partition of linux on my computers regardless (fedora, debian, something simple) and two CPUs would …

P2B-D Rev 1.06 what's the fair price for that? Duel CPUs seems wicked cool!!!!!!! I could order a second CPU and a P2B-D and build it for bragging rights. However, If I decided to get a P3B-F does it matter if its a 1.03 or 1.04? (I know both support 100fsb coppermine) I need some help deciding …

Yeah I agree. I bought 2 from the seller. They'll be assigned to a P2B-D Rev 1.06 D03 board that I found.

I think that's about average price. How many ISA? I think for 2 ISA it's actually quite good.

My daily driver is a Thinkpad T601 (a T60 4:3 body with T61 motherboard). It's a penryn T8100 with 6Gb ram. I think it's mobile compute power from 2009. I could realistically probably daily drive any Core 2 Duo. Something like an E6600 would be great.

Yeah the retail versions had the classic blue box. This is clearly OEM. I am assuming there would be no reason to warn against a S370 cooler fitting. It could be one of those giant passive heatsinks found on slot 1. Also if you're on a 133mhz slot 1 board, you could grab a powerleap and a 1400S and …

Yes of course. It's the fastest true slot 1 processor made and ideal for 440BX boards.

Sounds great but how did you uniquely identify it as SL4KL? SL4BR is also a 1000/100 slot 1. There is also the SL5QV which is s370 1000/100.

Yeah but try to get one without the unnecessary holes punched.

Agreed on P3B-F prices. Even at one SD out, you're looking at a $50 motherboard. That's a lot for a pentium board.

My observation is that non-strictly-glide gaming 1998-2000 like Half-Life will be better served with something like a year 2000 or above geforce. AWE64 is a general purpose card suitable for DOS and for regular windows games. It doesn't have support for fancy 3D API's like A3D or EAX. If you don't …
Re: POLL: What is your favorite x86 vintage processor?

Nostalgia suggests a Pentium 100mhz classic and the Pentium III 600E. Today probably the 450apz.
