PII 450MHz with MMX

[wheatbix]

dose anyone know what slot the PII 450MHz with MMX processor goes into? What is the highest clocked processor which can fit into this slot? thanks

The slot style of Intel CPUs are called "slot 1" and you need to have a slot 1 motherboard to utilize them. As far as what's the fastest slot 1 processor, I believe they made up to 1 gig P-III CPUs. How fast of a processor will work depends on motherboard support and what BIOS you are using.

on a website i order from, under processors in slotket, they have an adapter which goes into slot 1 motherboards so that you can use PPGA 370 intel celerons and FC-PGA Pentium 3s. Do you think this would work? At the momment, not really sure what motherboard type i've got, it came with my dell computer.

then you most likely have an intel motherboard. and most likely you can get about p3 700-850 to fit in there.. not positive though. go to www.cpuid.com get cpuz go to chipset tab and see what it says under motherboard and chipset info. :D

with a slotket u can use almost any of the newer p3's wit 370pin config..

Those slotket (slot adapters) do really work. But the deciding factor on how fast of a CPU to get will be how high of a multiplier your motherboard will support. Of course you can forget about overclocking.

It is a Slot one as previous stated, and it runs at 2.0 Volts for the core. This means that the highest CPU that the motherboard can take is the P3 600MHz Katmai core CPU. If you can adjust the vcore to 1.7V's then you can take up to a 1GHz Slot one P3 which is the coppermine core. Hope this helps.

Yeah, but the good slotkets have adjustable voltage jumpers. If you use the slotket and a socket 370, then you can go with a faster processor as long as the BIOS will recognize the multiplier. I'd look for a BIOS update.
