I think that's the same board I have.Cool! I would like to have one of those for my Abit BH6.
PS: anyone need a PIII 450?
I only used the Celeron 566mhz chip to verify that the slocket adapter worked. It is not intended as a permanent solution by any means. The 700 mhz one would have been much better if I could have found it.With a bit of a voltage bump, you can overclock those 66Mhz bus speed Celerons to the 100Mhz bus.
Also, that 566 Celeron is probably not as fast as a 500 Mhz P3 despite the clock speed advantage.
The P3 has more cache and a faster bus.
Look for a 1Ghz Coppermine P3 FCPGA. You can find them all over Ebay for about $10.
This one (Abit BH6) did have the 133 setting. I tried it with a P3-600/133 and it couldn't handle it. I guess it was the RAM. It does run as a P3-450 using the 100mhz bus speed though.Depending on the Motherboard, some BX chipsets can be clocked to 133 Mhz. My old Asus P2B with the 440BX chipset runs 133 mhz coppermine CPUs with PC133 Ram. Its has clock speed setting right in the BIOS for 133 (and 112 and 103 and 97 and 83). It also has the ability to decouple the AGP and PCI speed from the bus speed.
I can't speak for your board though...
Up to 1.7v from 1.65v. It would not post from that voltage. For now the P3-500 is back in until the processor arrives.Did you try bumping up the voltage a bit??
The cheapest shipping I paid on a computer was from Geeks when I bought my B/W G3. They had a special on shipping for $2.95. Unfortunately the front foot was broken when it arrived. It's fixed now.Not bad, but to be honest $6 is not bad for shipping. Some places are ridiculous and don't even get me started on e-bay seller wanting $50 for more to ship a machine.
Crazy, man. Just crazy.
OTOH, glad your box is up and running. Now it's time for some old retro gaming. MDK should run great on that box along with Grim Fandango, Quake 2/3, and so on. Heck Half Life and CS2 should be good to go as well.
