Intel Proc guru needed - 1.0A vs PIII

[acts837]

Any day my Abit ST6 and Celly 1.0A will be getting here from Mwave. I also ordered the Visiontek Xtasy 5632 GEFORCE2 GTS-V from NewEgg. My current rig is an Asus CUSL2-C topped off with a PIII-933 and a Matrox G400. I know the Geforce card will end up in my primary box; however, from what I have been hearing that Tualitan 1.0A could potentially out run my PIII.

Both have 256k cache. But the PIII runs at 133FSB. If I left the Tualitan at 100FSB would it still be better than the 933?

Maybe I'm chicken...I don't mind tweaking BIOS configs or jumpers and O/Cing that way...but i just can't bring myself to soldering or wiring stuff to my new mobo/proc. With 5 kids I play on the conservative side, so running 150FSB on my ST6 isn't gonna happen. TIA

You should be able to hit 133fsb with around 1.55~1.6v the max vcore for the ST6 without a wire trick. When i have 5 kids I am still going to be doing alot of the same stuff. If you do everything right there is no way you are going to fry anything.

There seems to be some good info at this article at x-bit labs (http://www.xbitlabs.com/cpu/celeron-1200/) about the celly-t 1.2GHz. The cool thing is that their celly-t 1.2GHz was unlocked, so they compared it to a P3-1000.



Coppermine 1.0GHz Tualatin 1.0GHz
Business Winstone 2001 43.4 45.7
Content Creation Winstone 2001 54.9 55.7
Quake3 Arena (four)
Fastest, 640x480x16 169.5 172.3
Unreal Tournament
640x480x16 45.67 47.01


Since the Celly-T's have an L2 cache latency of 1 versus the P3's L2 cache latency of 0, you would think that the P3 CuMines would get the trophy... But the Celly-T has something that the CuMines don't -- data prefetch. That seems to counteract any slowdown caused by the Celly-T's L2 latency.

Both of these were probably run at 133FSB, I can't remember if the article specified FSB speeds...

Of course, results may vary!

The T 1.0A is a bit faster from the P-III 933

Also the 1.0A @1333 is much faster than my previus P-III 1000EB@1162 (155fsb)

just finished putting my new hard drive together the other
day ,downloaded win 98 se 2wice yes 2wice the processor
was so damn quick transferring data it corrupted files
after everything was finished win 98 se booted up in 13 seconds
yes a mind boggling 13 seconds.

im not an intel person, but i dont think a processor being to FAST will corrupt files. your probably generating errors from cpu or ram. but feel free to flame me if im wrong:D

You will not get data corruption from the processor transfering files too fast....You 'will' get data corruption from an unstable, overclocked CPU....

Rule of thumb: Always install Windows at default speed as if you get data corruption at the overclocked speed then your system ain't stable....
