There is PCI variant of Radeon 9000 locally but the seller wants 100 euros for it 😁

For Pentium M and AGP, at least 7600 GT, when using PCIe board (P4GPL-X or P4GD1) then as good as you want 😁

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. …

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 …

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 …

Normal and obtainable consumer motherboards are based on 440BX (Asus P2B-B being the best of them), supports Pentium III-S 1.4GHz with slight mods and can be overclocked too. Also Witht he same board you can use Tualeron 1.@1.6 GHz (133 FSB) but it would be around as fast as 1.4 GHz PIII-S.

Never looked for it, maybe someone skilled could give some insight after some measurements and tracing where it goes?

I'm using Pentium 3 11x100 (SL5QW) in my Chaintech 6BTM0. That's a 440BX board as well, only full-ATX. I've found a modded BIOS with support for Tualatin which also added support for my SL5QW. Could be something similar available for your board as well? You can patch the BIOS yourself with BP 4.23 …

Your problem is most likely RAM timings. There are sticks that are PC133 but cannot handle tight timings, try set loower timings on them, your other components should have no problems running at 133 FSB (I have several Chaintech 44BX mobos, ALL of them work very well at and beyond 133 MHz).

Excellent and super cool!!! Extremely nice effort and pure admiration to your skills!! Now, how could I (we) purchase this kind of module from you? 😀

I have P4P800 Se and P4GPL-X (latter is PCI-E), with CT-479 it is one of my favourite retro systems. Clock by clock it eats Opterons for lunch in most applications and since gaming is priority it dominates that. Back in 2006 I had P4GD1, loved that board so much that even though I sold the board I …

One can also tape vcore contacts on Slot1 CPU to get 1.8volts and use Coppermine CPU's.

It did not detect system wrongly but P2B series have hardware problem with ACPI. Asus also had rework guide for it so that ACPI will work as it should. I also had to perform the same mod both on my P2B-D and my XG-DLS (dual Slot2 board). https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=838874

Only first 6BTM's did not support Coppermines officially (actually they all worked with them if you used slotket with vcore jumpers, just set it to 1.8v), most of them work with Tualatins too. I am building a retro rig for my friend with 6BTA (same as 6BTM but with onboard audio), Tualatin Celeron …

Mine got ~11k points with stock clocks in 3DMark2001SE, nothing overclocked. Seems good enough for me.
