Old p3v4x

[Rocky55]

I still use it for a 2nd system for gameing, it has a geforce 2 gts. It doesnt keep up very well with my amd with the geforce 3. It has a slot adapter with a celeron-2 667mhz (baught it when they first came out). It it possible to swap the cpu for the new celeron 1.3 ghz? I know the cpu has a 100bus speed but thats a highass mulitplier 13x!! I dont think the board will go that high. If anyone has done it please e-mail me instead of replying to this mesg.

Check out the thread in the Intel CPUs section on modding the new Tualatin Celerons (256K L2 cache); you could also buy the Powerleap socket370 to Tualatin adapter. You can use a Celly 2 (128K L2 cache) w/o any modifications and w/o use of an adapter; highest MHz for the Celly 2s is 1100MHz.

ill have to correct you....you will need a slcoket adaptor for a regualr Celeron even....my suggestion is that you overclock the Celeron....you could probably hit 800-900mhz with that cpu and you have a GREAT overclocking motherboard and an AWESOME ocing cpu......you could get a large performance increase....

p3v4x

It is overclocked 900mhz.
its still slowass compared to the 1200mhz amd athlon at its default speed. I have even switched video cards to help. i put the geforce 3 in the p3v4x and the geforce2 gts in the abit kt7a-raid. Its playable but not exciting! I see that i can get that comverter chip in a slot 1 form. I may do that.

Rocky55,

I was going to do that, but I feel it's a waste of money. If your already @900MHz, can you really get that much more for the money. I decided to put what it would have cost me for that stuff into getting a AMD system going. My P3V4X is going to be sitting on a shelf collecting dust soon.

I use it for a second gamming system for lan games. Also its used for a typing machine.
