Which frequency is safe on IP3 500? 124MHz FSB (cant go higher) is quite Stable Prime95 - 6 hours OK 😀 IP3 550 is veery bad for overclock - cant go stable on 112 fsb and above.. 😒

I wouldn't overclock old hardware at all.

If a PIII is too slow, get a P4.

THIS. The risk/reward just isn't there.

Post some photo's 😊

Maybe I will make some more 3dfx wallpapers.

Wait, you got Crysis running on your Tualatin?

Crysis was one of the most demanding games of 2007. There is no way a Tualatin could run this game smoothly. It "may" run "ok" (doubt it) with the lowest possible settings but otherwise no chance.

Remember, the P3 1400-S Tualatin got released back in 2001. I'm also pretty sure most socket 370 boards only have an AGP 4x slot so wouldn't be able to take full advantage of more modern AGP 8x cards. My Pentium 4 3.4Ghz + 6800 GT rig cant even run this game properly. By properly I mean on decent settings. To me, If I cant run a game on med-high settings then I don't bother playing it. Nothing worse than the framerate dropping in the heat of battle.

I also strongly agree with this. Old hardware is so cheap these days that it makes no sense to try push your system for better performance and in doing so delay the lifespan of your hardware. These days, if you know what games you'd like to play, you can just purchase the appropriate motherboard/graphics card/cpu for dirt cheap. I suppose, each to their own though because I know some people do it for the fun of it.

It is kind of a placebo effect; but getting the most out of your hardware sometimes feels so fullfilling...

Yes with X850XT 256M on Abit VH6T with max RAM but only run, not playable (you can see 11fps on the screenshot) 😘

Kimberly,

You've got some really cool setups out there! The PCs look clean and the cables are well-managed. Why did you change 1.4 Tualatin for 1GHz part?

Guys and gals then 😈

I seriously doubt a lot of girls are into overclocking 😀

Hi!

I started working on a retro game machine in May last year.

Intel Pentium III 1.4 GHZ Tualatin
Asus TUSL2-C O+
2x 256MB SDRAM PC 133
2x Maxtor 40gb 7200 Diamondmax plus 8
Chaintech Geforce 2 Pro 64MB
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Player
DVD RW black
300W power supply
LG Flatron F900B
Antec Sonata Pronto case

Wise choice for the PSU.I see it's a Delta anyway,and those are very good and rock stable.I remember I managed to get the juice from a 110W PSU using a PCChips motherboard.Also,I thought the video card was from ASUS,until I read that it was Chaintech. 🤣

As you may heave seen, the current PSU is a Zalamn ZM460-APS 460 Watt (it realy is silent!)

I just bought a 3DFX Voodoo 5 5500 64MB AGP for this system! For those who liked my previous wallpaper, check this out (voodoo 5 wallpaper):

I didn't notice.I was looking at the first 2 pics and I saw that the PSU was a Delta.
