So I'm thinking of whats left to do with my Slot 1
Would it be worth it to get a modded Celeron 1.4 to run in my SOYO board to replace my Pentium 3 800. Would it better utilize a faster GPU like my FX5900XT, and would it be worthwhile?
Also can my board handle a tutalin core cpu.
SOYO 6BA+IV
How can anyone say if it is "worthwhile" if you won't say what, exactly, you want to use it for?
Are you already trying to run something specific that isn't running as fast as you like, and that you can't just run on a modern machine?
Why wouldn't you want a P3 1.4?
I'd rather not run at a 133mhz bus on my board, even if my AGP card can take it.
And no everything works fine, just wondering if its worth maxing out this system and if the 100mhz bus already cripples preformance at 800 would 1400 really help, I'm not sure if at 800mhz my bus is already constricting me

Then no. Don't buy it. Stop here. Be happy. End this now.
candle_86, look at this:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/benchmark … hon,590-23.html
Here you can see for example Quake 3, 3DMark2001 and Unreal Tournament 2003 Benchmarks for Celeron 1200 and 1300 (tualatins) and the PIII E 800.
Regarding the results from the 1200 and 1300 Celeron, the 1400 Celeron would have the following results (with linear approximation):
Pentium 3 E 800MHz:
Q3 (at 1024x768 resolution) - 103.2 FPS
3DMark2001 - 6592 score
UT 2003 (at 1024x768 resolution) - 73.3 FPS
Celeron 1400MHz:
Q3 (at 1024x768 resolution) - 138.5 FPS (+34.2%)
3DMark2001 - 8870 score (+34.5%)
UT 2003 (at 1024x768 resolution) - 103.6 FPS (+41.3%)
Should be a nice enough upgrade. If you aren't going out on a limb to get it, I don't see why not 😀.
yea it looks worthwhile to me, unless i can find a Pentium 3-S 100mhz FSB 1400 without selling my first born
I have one and it works http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tualatin-Celeron-1-4G … oQAAOSwWTRWuu99
and then find a slocket converter.

hmm so the work is done for me, ok ill keep that in mind
You'll probably need a slocket adapter with on board voltage regulator for the tualleron. I don't see evidence of your board supporting CPU voltages low enough.
Dell Dimension XPS R400, 512MB SDRAM, Voodoo3 2000 AGP, Turtle Beach Montego, ESS Audiodrive 1869f ISA, Dreamblaster Synth S1
Dell GH192, P4 3.4 (Northwood), 4GB Dual Channel DDR, ATI Radeon x1650PRO 512MB, Audigy 2ZS, Alacritech 2000 Network Accelerator
just that and a slocket, thats all u need, I have a few of those.

Yeah, this seller's Tualerons are already modded and can be inserted on pretty much any motherboard with BIOS support. The Soyo 6BA+IV is a great board and it should work fine with this particular CPU (the seller even says so on his list). If you have a slocket adapter or can obtain one for cheap, it's a nice upgrade. I was thinking of doing something like this for a while too, but never went ahead with it, although might do it someday, I've got the same motherboard and loving it, thanks to keropi that fixed it up for me 😁.
I'm just thinking my games are all windows based and a 1.4 Celeron will play them faster like elite force

I bought a few of those, there hit or miss at best.
Rule of thumb with these, pretty much any board that supports a pentium 2 these mods will work.
