Would there be a purpose in getting a dual slot-1 system?

[Tipycol]

What I plan to do is run my PIII 667 and a celeron 366 (accoding to sticky this should work). I have both processors and my only problem is I don't know that much about dualies other than the stickies. So would it be worth it to actually make my PIII system into a dual system? And what was the best dual slot-1 board and why?


Thanks

I believe you'll find that the processors you run need to match. I don't believe you can run a P/// and a Celeron. Two P///'s or two Celerons (same speed, ie, two P/// 700E's or two Celeron 400's) are required.

Oh. Oh well...my idea was just a thought cause I wanted something to do while I waited for the nForce 2's/KT400A's to mature a little


Thanks for the info

Yea, but then I'd still need to get another proc, damn I thought I could mix and match different processors Oh well

I think you'd be able to mix and match P3's OR Cellies but not together. (As in mixing speeds).

A friend of mine just built a system with an Acorp dual board... he had one 667 (P3) laying around and just added another.

Check ebay for dual slot1 boards. They go really cheap there.

Do you mean I can run a p3 and cellie? I don't quite understand what you are saying.

 

[Tipycol]

Can anyone explain to me what Sickboy was talking about?

Ok, how about this question, would it be better for my Piii setup if I ran dual celerons say @ 500Mhz each? Would it be worth it? Or is the fact that they are celerons not help?

No, you cant run a celeron and P3 toghther. For nothing else at least because they dont have the same FSB.
If you already have one P3 667, look for another one. Propably you will find one for less than 40 bucks. A dual P3 667 will SMOKE a dual celeron 500, no doubt about it.

 

[Tipycol]

They're going for around $50 on eBay, kinda what the tops I thought I'd spend. Think I'll just see how good the nForce 2 does and whether or not it's worth buying.

BTW, no one seemed to mention what the best dual slot/socket 370 board was, anyone have an opinion?


Thanks
