I just want to see what you all got in the way of Pentium 3 machine, I know some of you out there have dual P3 machines.
Just post pic's of your machine and benchmarks.
This is the fastest P3 machine Ive built its a bit overkill but..... why the hell not, im currently trying to get dual slot board.

My specs:
CPU: 1.4GHz Pentium 3-s Powerleap adapter
RAM: 2GB of pc-133
HDD: 2x 120GB white label western digital drives
Video: Geforce 6800 gt
Audio: Asus xonar DG
Power Supply: Antec Earthwatts 380watt
Motherboard: Asus p3v4x

I'm literally about to post up a thread about my dual Tualatin so I'll chuck some benchmarks in here 😀

No AGP slot sadly, as it's a server, so no bad-ass graphics.

Check out my blog and YouTube channel for thoughts, articles, system profiles, and tips.

I wonder how Doom3 runs on this thing....

a tip I would give is to use older drivers, Ive noticed youre using the latest ones available , which generally have more issues with the older cards (worse performance too). For a 6800 , I use the 93.71 drivers.

oldskoolmaniac can you do sandra tests on it?
quite frankly except for the powerful graphics i cannot see anything of interest in the screenshots
i also wouldnt expect it to be faster on a via than on an intel motherboard - are your experiences different?

i do have an intel motherboard in my dell that im waiting on a tualatin mod for, i can put that up against it as well as my 440bx board although i need to get more parts for my bx and replace caps on it.

I thought the older driver had problems with via chipsets?

Is there something wrong with voltage in CPU-Z,...

...or you just preparing to squeeze extra frequency from CPU? 🤣

the voltage jumper on the power leap is 1.65v the motherboard is reporting 2.09, but the powerleap dubs it down with its voltage regulator.

If I drop a newer video card and 1.4ghz in my piii setup it would be way faster.
I'm sure I could get a 1.4piii around 1.6ghz easy. Maybe even 1.7ghz

Oh and thake a look at these!

2GHz from a p3 thats crazy, what motherboard are you using?
My asus sucks at overclocking with a powerleap very unstable.
I do have a spare HD3870 agp laying around.
I should post my p4 system, that thing is beast ive been trying to get close to 4GHz with fan cooling and low volts.

Ah, I have a Pentium 3-s 1.4ghz too. (in my L800r, see the Dell thread)

The old Dell is a bit of a bummer though. No AGP and the RAM is limited to 512MB, wouldn't boot with any more.

The best card I can get working is a Jaton Geforce 9500 (with 1GB of RAM..., more than the computer itself has)

A while ago I got one of those Zotac GPUs that uses Geforce 430GT on a PCI thinking I would upgrade it, but it didn't work with it.

what kind of scores are getting with that geforce 9500 though?
I know sometimes if u go overkill on GPU you'll get lower scores.
I got a dell 4100 ill post results after i get my tualatin upgrade for it, it wont be any faster then these other boards on here, but we will see where it stands as a Dell.

Very nice.

My Pentium 3 scores a little more than yours in 3DMark 2000 on a Ti4600, see my benchmarks for reference...

Those aren't mine. I pulled them from hwbot.

I have a few 1.4ghz and I'm sure with ether my fx5950 ultra or 9800 and some over clocking my piii would be faster. But you scores are grate. Not only that but you systems is nice too.

My piii system has a be62

does it? admittedly I haven't used that particular VIA chipset , but the VIA chipset on my S939 board works fine with these drivers

Via chip sets are not the best for overclocking, without being very skilled with overclocking you will not get over 143fsb by much. Ram can also hold you back
