Hi Crasman,

How are you? Well guess what? I was going to order the link which was from the coolerexpress.com it was the Socket 370-FC-PPGA Convert I told you about. I orderd it tody then later an email came that it was SOLD OUT. I am so mad now. But anyway I went ahead and ordered the SLOT-T I had no choice because my CPU will come back anytime. Well that cost total of $23.59. The thing cost $19.95 plus $3.64 shipping. I am shocked now. This tough me a BIG LESSON. The lesson is NEVER upgrade OLD stuff. If its slow just buy another board and use that one. With this much I spend for this I can but another motherboard.

I will continue my saga when I get everything.

Stay Tune!!!

LOL, well, you could get a new board for the $70 it would cost to buy a Tualatin Celeron 1100 and a Slot-T, but then you'd still need a processor and RAM! Hehe. I think a better lessn would be that when you're dealing with obsolete hardware you should ask questions first. After all, the Tualatin cost the same as the Coppermine. Performs better, overclocks better.

Hi Crashman,

Yes you are right. With $70 dollard I can buy a new AMD 2100XP+ and new RAM new hard drive and all the other goodies. Well it turns out I did learn a BIG LESSON. And what I learned from this lesson is to NEVER upgrade absolute hardware at all. And yes if I am going to upgrade absolute hardware (never again)I should ask questions that is a smart idea. But it sort of my fault because I did not do enough reasearch on my mobo.

LOL, no you can't. YOu can buy a cheap motherboard with $70. Nothing else. And then you'd still want a new CPU, add another $70. And then since the new board would use DDR SDRAM instead of PC100/PC133, you'd probably spend another $70 on that. So it would have cost you 3x as much.

I meant $70 motherboard I buy a combo board with cpu. That's true I would have to buy New memory.

Hi All,

Great News I recieved my CPU on 2-10-04 and works. My FSB is 100 but I overclocked it too 109FSB and the speed it now 1.2280. Sometimes there are blue screen when only shut down but when I run every applicaition there are no blue screen. My voltage is set to 1.9 v. Original is 1.75v. This is great 1.1 overclocked it to 1.2. My Celeron 500MHZ is only overclockable to 563 MHZ. Well I am happy with my NEW celeron 1.1 now is 1.2 GHZ(hehe).

Again thanks for all your guys that help me on this matter.

That's no cool

 

[Mikec]

It's fine for me because the CPU 500MHZ can overclock only 63 MHZ. But now the Celeron 1.1 can go to 1.2.

 

[Nights_L]

That's about the same ratio, 63/500~13% of overclocking
100/1100~9% of overclocking
When i said no cool, i'm not referring to your OC is not cool, I mean if it crashes, then it's no cool, a good Overclocking should be perfect...at least that's what i think

 

[Mikec]

Hi Nights L,

Yeap that is true.

OMG you're completely clueless. First of all, ALL Celerons have a multiplier lock. You can only increase the bus speed.

Looking at your OLD Celeron, it had the Mendicino core which was known to overclock in the range of 500-600MHz top, depending on the processor itself. Now, the 300A version could go to 450MHz at 100Mhz FSB easily. The 333A could go to 500MHz at 100MHz FSB easily. The 366A could sometimes go to 550MHz at 100MHz bus. It really depended on the quality of the specific processor, but ALL were limited below 600MHz!

OK, now looking at the Coppermine. It wouldn't go very much above 1.1GHz. In fact, the PIII 1.13GHz Coppermine was recalled because of data errors. So 1.10GHz was about the best Intel could get from it. You might get 1.2GHz, maybe a bit more. It's a BAD choice for overclocking.

Your BEST choice for overclocking is the 1.1GHz with 256k. That Celeron uses the Tualatin core, which clocks MUCH higher. The 1.1GHz Tualatin can EASILY hit 1466MHz at 133MHz bus.

And now you're thinking "those don't work on my board" and of course your wrong. You'd want to purchase a Tualatin adapter with adjustable voltage controll, the BEST choice being the Upgradeware Slot-T. It cost $20 here in the U.S. and you can find a distributor list at <A HREF="http://www.upgradeware.com" target="_new">http://www.upgradeware.com</A>
