Inspired by supercordo's Netburst and 462 threads, I figured I would go ahead and do one for Socket 370 as well.

Mandatory:
- results must include the following - 3DMark scores, CPU-Z, and GPU-Z (*1)
- Intel Socket 370 only. Slotkets and Socket converters (e.g Socket 370 to Socket 8, like the Powerleap PL-ProII) are accepted as well, original Slot 1 models are not. As long as it uses a Intel 370 chip, it qualifies.
- Unfortunately no VIA/Cyrix chips for this thread. There is an existing "Aiming For The Stars" thread for VIA C3 , made by Jasin Natael, and it seems active. (last post is a few days ago.).
- no chipset restrictions. Go WILD!
- no GPU restrictions
- no OS restrictions
- no LN2/sub-zero solutions allowed. Air and watercooling is accepted, as well as using ice as watercooling.
- NO STOCK SCORES! That's what "Aiming For The Stars" is about! Squeezing the absolute juice outta yer chips.
- 3DMark 99 - https://benchmarks.ul.com/legacy-benchmarks
- 3DMark 2000 - https://benchmarks.ul.com/legacy-benchmarks
- 3DMark 2001SE - https://benchmarks.ul.com/legacy-benchmarks
- CPUMark 99 https://thandor.net/benchmark/4

Scores will be divided into each core category - Mendocino, Coppermine, Tualatin. The type of 370 CPU will be mentioned - Celeron or Pentium III, as well whether it's a slotket, socket adapter or plain 370.

Socket 370 - 3DMark 2001SE scores:

*1 - In case you cannot run GPU-Z, HWINFO or Everest Home Edition can be used for the GPU information, as long as they don't block the CPU-Z and 3DMark score view. This applies for 9x mostly, as IIRC there aren't 9x-compatible versions of GPU-Z.

There are some non Intel Socket 370 CPU-s, like VIA Cyrix III / VIA C3

I did mention that it's only for Intel CPUs, as there already exists a separate C3 Aiming For The Stars thread (linked in the original post, although it's in the Video section, of all places).

3Dmark 99 for my s370 SFF build. (not shown in Marvin's system specs yet ...)

My Celeron 500 (tiny OC @ 513 Mhz with FSB 68MHz).
Onboard Ati Rage Pro Turbo AGP 2x.

For 3Dmark2000, it's just too slow...

Until someone comes along with a TUSL2-C fitted with an overclocked Pentium 3S processor (1.4 GHz) running at a bus speed of 166+ MHz.
Or a similar motherboard from Abit.
I’ll stick with my AOpen MX3S for now. Unfortunately, it supports the frequency combinations 133/133, 150/150 and 166/125 (this motherboard does not support 166/166)

Added to the scoreboard.

I have my ST6 that runs a 1.13 @ 186FSB that I intended posting last night but, for whatever reason the 7600GS I picked up recently seems to not be 100% stable, so I will postpone it until I get hold of a X1950Pro I ordered recently. I also have a 7800GS however it acts the same as 7600GS, which leads me to believe it's either a driver issue or some sensibility between the OC, the late HSI-bridged nVidias and the i815EP chipset, since I rememeber I could finish runs with a Rialto'd X800GTO and a native X850.

What I can say about the ST6 and 1.13 Tually I have though, is the 186FSB is its absolute stable limit. I've done everything possible to push it close to 190, but 186-188ish is its utmost limit. Either core or the MB are at their limit but I couldn't get another S type Tualatin to test.

I might pick up a SA6R for Coppers down the road though - someone sells one that is in need of a recap with a 1GHz P3 and it seems tempting.

(edited as I misremembered the max FSB I got my 1.13 at. I always thought it was 189 yet I recall 3DMark wouldn't finish at that, or anything past 188.)

Yes, with a this Clock IC like that on the motherboard, you can achieve high results.
