Why doesn't intel make 1ghz in 100FSB FCPGA??

[fireman233]

I am looking at intel's spec update and I am really surprised. I was considering an upgrade to a 1ghz PIII and after looking, I don't see what I want. The only FCPGA 1g PIII's I see are:
SL4FP cB0 SECC2 133FSB (denoted as 1B GHz/133)
SL48S cB0 SECC2 133FSB (denoted as 1B GHz/133)
SL4C8 cC0 FCPGA 133FSB (denoted as 1B GHz/133)
SL4MF cC0 FCPGA 133FSB (denoted as 1B GHz/133)
SL4BR cC0 SECC2 100FSB (denoted as 1 GHz/100)
SL4KL cC0 SECC2 100FSB (denoted as 1 GHz/100)
SL4BS cC0 SECC2 133FSB (denoted as 1B GHz/133)

This depresses me . I wanted to grab an FCPGA to throw on an Iwill slocket, but I guess they don't make such things.

What would be a better idea in this case (and please don't say sell my existing setup and buy an athlon). Overclocking is an issue. Using a Soyo 6BA+IV w/ an Iwill slocket II. Should I grab the FCPGA even though it is a 133FSB (7.5x133), or should I go back to the SECC2? I am a much bigger fan of the FCPGA because the slocket can regulate the voltage. ANy ideas??

They don't because the thermal requirements are so high, and they use such cheap materials, that to get to 1GHz (10X100) they need a MONSTER HSF combo. What you see as a 1000/133 is really a 750/100 that Intel has overclocked using all of the tricks that we do. The current P!!! tops out around 1.13-1.2 Ghz. Although I am sure that someone here will have more input on the matter :D .

Count your blessings. The 1GHz P!!!'s are _not_ good overclockers. Sticking yourself with a 100 MHz FSB P!!! is a hindrance to performance.

The 933 MHz P!!! offers very similar performance at less cost. Run that FSB up to 143 MHz and you get a Gig that outperforms the 10x100 P!!!'s.

If you don't mind rolling the dice go for the P!!! 700E. :)
