PPro will be faster in pretty much anything in reallife, maybe aside from some specific synthetic benchmark.
Re: GPU for 440BX machine with 133 MHz bus?
Posted on 2021-06-11, 12:01
I have tested ~30-40 boards over the years, only problematic ones were the early ones without 1/4 PCI divider and even those worked when finding add-on cards that tolerated overclocked PCI. When stability is problem it pays to check the voltages, 3.3volt being most important, high clocks are …
Re: GPU for 440BX machine with 133 MHz bus?
Posted on 2021-06-11, 09:46
Sorry but 440BX is perfectly stable at 133MHz and in case there are instabilities first thing would be to try other graphics (MX440 is NOT good card for 89MHz unlike Ti4200, geforce3 etc) and secondly your RAM timings as in many cases RAM is not stable at 133MHz with toot itgh settings. You can try …
Re: Dual slot1 vs Dual 370 : which one would you choose?
Posted on 2021-06-10, 09:03
I have CUR-DLS but not sure when I have time to put together a rig and test (I have several V2's too, including two SLI's), just not enough time. CUR-DLS onboard RageXL is useless as I remember from few years back when I got the board 😁
Re: Dual slot1 vs Dual 370 : which one would you choose?
Posted on 2021-06-10, 08:30
With CUR-DLS you can go Voodoo2 SLI and some Radeon 7500 or Geforce 2 PCI version 😀
Re: Mobile Pentium 3 - Socket 370 adaptor
Posted on 2021-06-04, 13:02
May I ask why? Mobile Tualatins were still 0.13 process, this adapter would make sense if you make PCB interposer that converts it to Coppermine pinout, allowing to use them on pretty much any CuMine compatible board.

Deal! 😀 Thanks a lot!

Glad to hear from you! I can solder quite well, I do soldering as daily thing, including SMD parts, chips etc. But of course I would prefer to have it readymade like intended from the inventor 😀

There is no difference, chip is the same. Ati tried to make "new" product by adding the word "Turbo" but was exposed back then.

Re: Asus P2B & Compatible P3 1.4Ghz slotket
Posted on 2021-05-14, 06:04
If your P2B supports coppermines then you can modify pretty much any slotket to work with Tualatin. Just do it properly, most guides are not correct. Use this guide and you are good: http://www.rom.by/articles/S370/_english_index.htm

XG-DLS will work at 133 MHz FSB with only one CPU sadly, could not get it to POST with two CPU's at 133 MHz no matter what. Either of them ran happily at 133 Mhz all day long. And these were 700/2M ones that ran perfectly at 933 MHz.

Nice build! Are you runnin 133 or 100 MHz FSB PIII's? Also, regarding RAM, 440BX supports up to 1GB, did you install 4x512MB DIMM's? It would still recognize only 1 GB.

For Pentium M and AGP, at least 7600 GT, when using PCIe board (P4GPL-X or P4GD1) then as good as you want 😁
Re: Fastest AT computer.
Posted on 2021-03-16, 19:03
To each their own. For example Tualatin is odd thing as the best readily available chipset is officially not supported (440BX), I would never use VIA chipset on it and 815 is artificially crippled. To tell that it reduces lifetime on already old hardware is like a joke. USing a CPU at their original …

What out of spec? :D 1.8v instead of 1.75 or...? BX chipsets have been ran at 133MHz FSB since like forever, no problems with them. I personally have used all kinds of CPU's back in the day and overclocked Coppermine Celerons to oblivion (566 @ 952 for example), excellent gaming computers they were. …
Re: Fastest AT computer.
Posted on 2021-03-14, 21:09
Some P2Bs don't support Coppermine though. I have my doubts about every P2B getting to 133MHz FSB also. I'm reasonably sure the oldest BX boards did not overclock to 133MHz FSB very easily. Are you perhaps referring to some different board like P2B-B (which is the AT version)? Just trying to …
Re: Fastest AT computer.
Posted on 2021-03-14, 14:01
BX often makes RAM sticks unstable as a) it is very fast chipset itself , b) it often does not have enough i/o voltage so it is essential to use quality RAM sticks and sometimes loosen timings a bit. 133 MHz is breeze to P2B. Also you don't need Powerleap for Tualatin to work on this board, some …
