Slot 1 upgrade?

[Vjeszczi]

Have an OEM system that can support (supposedly) up to 1.1gig. Not really looking to go that high, that and I would need a card. What I was curious about is how high can I go and still get a slot 1? Or at least somewhere I might find this information.

BTW its a Dell 500 Plll so I pretty much can't OC it, much to my dismay

You can find out that info from the S-spec charts on the Intel website. But, you're not limited to just a slot 1 CPU. There are advantages to using a socket 370 CPU and a slotket adapter.

If you want Pentium 3, try to find a 700. From what I hear thats the best overclocker for your money. If you want to save money you can probally find a celeron 800-900 for around $50. They overclock in the Ghz and for ~$50 you can't go wrong. Just try to get a good "slocket" (slot-1 to socket 370) card, I have an abit card with full voltage jumpers. Works great for me. I would definatly make sure the slocket has voltage jumpers, another advantage of useing slockets.

Your best bet is probabally one of the new cDO celerons and a slocket with both voltage and fsb options and a good heatsink.
I recomend a celeron 900, an asus s370-133 and a glaciator if you don't want a noisy cooler, or an sk6 if you can tolerate a noisy cooler. With this setup you should be able to overclock the celeron to 1.2ghz by setting the fsb jumper on the slocket to 133 as long as it supports a 133mhz fsb. Check in sandra to see what chip set your motherboard is, if it's a bx then you would be better off with one of the 66mhz fsb celeron, say a 600 or 633 overclocked to 900 or 950mhz.

Ya, I just ordered a 900 Cele from newegg for $52.00 to replace my aged Cele566@876. Hopefully I can get 1200 out of it...
I have an old BH6 1.0 with an Abit slotket.

Well your bx board has fsb options where as Vjeszczi isn't likely to have them on his dell board if it's a bx system.
Also what vid card do you have as you will need to be pretty sure it can handle an 89mhz agp bus which will be used with a 133mhz fsb on a bx board.

The point about the AGP is good. I have an Asus6800 GeForce DDR in this machine, I don't know how it will handle those bus speeds!

We will just have to see!:p

I have a Matrox G400 on a Asus P3B-F which has worked fine at 150FSB.....(with P3 500)
