VOGONS

What have I got here: a slotket, slocket or slotkey - and how far can I go with it?

I pulled this Asus P3B-F board with a 800Mhz Pentium III CPU out of an old InWin case I picked up.

As far as I can tell the CPU is either an 800Mhz or overclocked 533Mhz piece - both are selectable in bios.

But what caught my eye is the fact it’s a Celeron and in a slotket - before I take this apart, can anyone fill me in as to what I’m looking at in terms of potential here: can I max this out with a 1.4Ghz Tualaron?

Upgradeware Slot T is I think specifically Tualatin compatible.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

Yes, this is a slotket that suppports Tualatin out of the box. You can read more about it here:

The only limitation is that your motherboard -has- to support voltages in the range of 1.3 volt to 1.8 volt. This slotket does not have its own VRM like the Powerleap does.

Damn. You guys are good. So the adapter doesn’t allow for voltage regulation but seems to be able to accept a 1.4Ghz Tualaron provided the P3B-F can support the correct voltage.

Yes. The ASUS P3B-F most likely does support the lower voltages. But you may need the latest BIOS version if you do not have it already.

In case you are going to fiddle with it:

I'd think the ability to support the correct voltages is going to hinge more on the PMIC on the board than the BIOS (or maybe I'm wrong and it depends on both). Something like a HIP6004BCB would work, but I wouldn't be surprised if different manufacturers used different components for this stuff; you;d have to look at the board and identify the correct IC.

Win98+DOS: C3 Ezra-T 1.0AGHz / P3-S 1.26GHz, 128MB RAM, AWE64 + Orpheus + Audigy 2 ZS, Ti 4200, 128GB SD card
Win XP SP3: C2Q 9650, 4GB RAM, X-Fi Titanium, GTX 750
PowerMac G4 QS 800MHz + GeForce4 Ti4200, OS 9
PowerMac G5 DP 1.8Ghz + ATi x800 XT, Leopard

Hi there,

do you actually use the Upgradeware Adapter? Are you maybe interested in getting rid of it? 😁
I am searching for this slotket. 😀

All the best
Ben
