Difference between Slot one and socket 370

BTW, it would be cheaper in most situations to replace an entire board and CPU with AMD parts than to buy a 1.4GHz PIII. However, it would be much cheaper to replace a PIII Slot1 with a Celeron 1100 and adapter, and overclock to 1466 to make up the performance difference.

On the dual CPU front, since a similar new dual AMD board would cost about $400, plus CPU's, it would be cheaper to go with two PIII 1400's as long as you already own a dually PIII board.

You have to remember that he already has expensive equipment that would be expensive to replace.

i gotta say that you must be living under a rock to have never heard of a sloket... but we all screw up...

3 386DX-25's...12 volts...glue some ln2 and a wicked amount of overclocking and you get a willamantee minus 36 pins, 33.75 million transistors and a couple hundred mhz... 😎
 
Crashman,
How do you overclock a Celeron 1100, and if you do, how reliable would it be?
Also, What would be the worst case scenario if it fails? Would the slotket for pentium III be different than the one for the Celeron 1100?
Now, if I could find every thing I need to overclock the Celeron, on ebay for cheap, it might be worth a try.
 
I'm not Crashman but I can answer some of those questions. 😎

A Celeron 1100 is intended for a 100MHz FSB so by putting it on a 133 MHz FSB you are in effect overclocking it to 1466. It is the same core as the Celeron 1400, so you're not pushing the silicon much at all and it should be as reliable and stable as a factory clocked CPU.
 
first off you will not be able to run dual celerons...

but if you must know how you would overclock...slockets have jumpers on them that let you set the cpu voltage and the fsb...(66\100\133mhz) so in conjunction with voltage and fsb settings you should be able to get to 133mhz fsb...you would probably have the best chance of hitting 100mhz fsb with a celeron 1.0A however the 1.1 has a pretty good chance of hitting the magic 133 mark too.
