bonestonne Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 why not just buy a 1.1GHz celeron off ebay?it is a 370pin socket right? if so, just hop onto ebay and look for a faster 370pin processor...im no big fan of overclocking, too many risks.i have a ton of processors out of computers at the dump..i pulled one out that i regret [466MHz] but all the others are 866+...i have them as a backup for my old tower in case it dies. in fact, it almost did a while ago. if you've got xppro on it, just opt for a faster processor, it'll last longer.

awergh Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 i dont really use xppro, its just there for something that doesnt run on 98se or for testingive already flashed the bios so that the maximun speed processor i can support is a 1Ghz procssorim planing to get 3 PIII 866Mhz Processorsso i dont mind over clocking one to 1Ghz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqie Fox Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 (edited) Linux toaster? No joke. http://www.riverdale.k12.or.us/linux/toaster/Naaw, that's not a linux toaster... this is. I saw that when it was new, had to google a bit to find the link. (yeah it isnt running nix in the pic but it sure could!)Anyways, don't overclock a cyrix... better yet fry the thing by running 12v and gnd leads across it, then roundfile the thing and stick in a nice PIII cpu. I still use tons of PIII cpus around here, those things are very good performers.Lesee... dual p3-600, P3M1Ghz laptop, P3-500 laptop, dual celeron 433, dual celeron 400, 3x P3 933 chips waiting to go in an STL2 and another mobo. Yeah, I guess I am a bit P3-mad. Edited December 4, 2006 by jaqie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awergh Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 p3 isnt compatible with cirix cpus, cirix cpus use socket 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqie Fox Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Doh!forgot that little bit of info.K6-2 would be much better then the cyrix, but a s370 mobo is dirt cheap nowadays... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awergh Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 is a k6-2 socket 7 because i have a board which has a k6-2 on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqie Fox Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 it is super socket 7.socket 7 @ 100FSB and a few other (multi voltage) capabilities.note in such old mobos, it is done with jumpers or dip switches manually and great care must be taken to set them correctly for the cpu intended.
