its because of the powerleap the asus p3v4x is picky on witch slotket adapters are used, i will be replacing it with an asus slotket as soon as i find one and this will also be coupled with it ---> http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tualatin-P-IIIs-1-4GH … Q0AAOxyRhBSxjSY

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!

Oldskoolmaniac,

You write that you have a GF6800 Ultra, but the clocks in your screenshot are from a 6800 GT.

see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_6_series

6800 Ultra, Core (MHz): 400, Memory - effective(MHz): 1100
6800 GT, Core (MHz): 350, Memory - effective(MHz): 1000

#1 K6-2/500, #2 Athlon1200, #3 Celeron1000A, #4 A64-3700, #5 P4HT-3200, #6 P4-2800, #7 Am486DX2-66

Hm i don't think it will compete with the 1,4Ghz, because it maxed out at 900Mhz with 2Mb Cache or 1Ghz with 256Kb.
if i find time i will make some Benchmarks 😀

is it a single slot?

I use to have a server with 4 p3 xeon's at 800mhz with 4gb of ram that thing was a beast.

I have two PIII machines in regular use.

I made a thread about my Win98 machine a few months ago:
Bitchin'Fast! PC '99 - My DOS/Win98/Glide Rig

Haven't made a thread about my PIII-S/DDR rig yet, but it's coming up!
For now, here are some specs and a few pictures to whet your appetite:

Specs:
PIII-S 1400 @ 1575MHz/150FSB
2GB DDR @ 300MHz, 2-2-2-6
QDI Advance 12T motherboard (Apollo Pro 266T chipset)
eVGA GeForce 6800GT AGP @ 385/540
X-Fi ExtremeMusic
WD 500GB 7200RPM HDD, LG BD-ROM drive
GbE and SATA cards
Antec case and Zalman 400w PSU
XP-SP3

Since discovering that overclocked Tualatins can handle 720p H.264 without hardware acceleration, I've transcoded a few of my Blu-Ray movies to 720p so that I could play them on this machine. You know, because HD movies on a PIII is NEATO! 😁

I brought the machine upstairs and hooked it up to the plasma TV just to take these pictures:

I do have a dual Tualatin IBM Server (IBM xSeries 220), but sadly it doesn't have an AGP slot. I even have a thread about it: Old IBM xSeries 220 Dual Tualatin Server

Specs:
2x Pentium III-S 1.4 Ghz
2 GB (2x 1 GB) RAM PC133R ECC
S3 Savage 4 Pro Integrated
Fujitsu 36 GB 10k rpm SCSI HDD
Creative Soundblaster Live 24 Bit
NEC USB 2.0 PCI Card
Windows Server 2003 SP2

The motherboard uses a quite non common chipset. ServerWorks ServerSet III LE
