After no success with a 900MHz SL4SD or a 1GHz SL5QV and have been running on a 133fsb 1GHz SL4C8, finally had luck with the 1100MHz SL5QW. Might try some overclocking later!

Overclocking Pentium III / Celeron: Coppermine and Tualatin cores - Socket 370

Thanks, this is super helpful! It seems pretty par with the chart, it POSTs at 120 but fails to get through 3DMark2000. Even at 110 it freezes during the benchmark but it might be a memory thing as I'm running at PC100. Might upgrade later and try it out but I'm pretty happy with 1.1GHz regardless.

Gave my Win98 machine a proper optical drive. Case it's in has no drive bays, so I hooked up an I/O Magic 4x4x6 External CDRW I had. Works great! Tested by installing X-Win 95. Analog audio output hooked to Sound Blaster Audigy line-in.

Blazing 6x over USB 1.1 speeds! Love it! 🤣

Installed a Turion64 in a 754 motherboard using a 1mm copper shim. Surprisingly the motherboard detected the exact model (thought desktop mobos would not recognize mobile CPUs). Downlocked and voltaged lowered with CrystalCPU and now running Prime95 to check stability. Why? It's all in a tiny HTPC case and the PSU is right above the CPU so I want it to be as cool (and quiet) as possible.

I remember when I first encountered a Turion 64 in the wild inside a laptop. When I saw a 64-bit processor in a computer like that, I was convinced that we had reached peak mobile computing.

I had no idea you could do this. 🤷

Of course, I think I've only had maybe two Socket 754 boards in my possession in the past 20 years, so I haven't had much of an opportunity to use them.

Am I reading correctly online that the ML-44 manages 2.4Ghz with 1MB of cache at only a 35W TDP while the desktop equivalent with the same clock speed and cache has an 89W TDP? That would be pretty nice to have in a tiny PC from the time period.
