uniacid Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 sure he can, just get a P3 motherboard thats overclockable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 sure you can do that, but he asked how to overclock his current computer, hell, he could put anything in it with oc options and overclock it if you want to go by your method also the P3 has a max speed at about 1.1ghz so you really would not got too much extra performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also to add, on my system which is a p3 1.2. i have it up to 1.54ghz (all it took was on notch up on the vcore from 1.47 to 1.52) Temps are 42load 38idle. The P3's are quite overclockable depending on which stepping you have (model). To give you an ex, i upped my fsb from 133/133/33 to 166/166/41 Which gave me 1.54 The beauty of overclocking via the board (FSB) is everything attached to that board is overclocked as well...but that might also pose a problem when one of your PCI"s chokes on the upped speed. Hope this helped Board of recommendation for a p3 is the Asus TUSL2 (great Board) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Isnt anything over the 1.13ghz (which was recalled) done at .13 micon (Tualatin core) which is what you have? The 1ghz P3 is .18m did have a limit at 1.13ghz without extreme cooling. Yeah, the Tualatin P3 can go way up there, it was just a shame they came out after the P4 because they had better performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Tualatin P3 can go way up there, it was just a shame they came out after the P4 because they had better performance Thank you, i stand corrected...the 1ghz is on the .018 coppermine. the Tualatin is a great chip, overclocked i can out perform a p4 2.0 ghz with DDR (rambus blows me away hehe) but nevertheless its a great chip...however i thought that the last on that was made was the 1.26..now i hear talk of a 1.4 out there? Username have you heard of this? is it a server chip? (512k cache) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 I really have not heard much about new P3s I know Intel made celeron P3s up to 1.3ghz but now even those are on the P4 achitecture. From what I know the, P3 are done with. Shame, I think I remember reading that the Tualatin could be scaled upwards to 2.0ghz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celerons arent my cup of tea...budget models of the pentium. Actually the higest p3 i found jus now was the 1.33 512k, designed for servers.

xEonBuRn Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 PIII != Celeron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qba73 Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 A Celeron is a stripped down version of a pentium, that why usually the celeron has half the cache size of the pentium cousin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 that or the motherboard does not have a 133mhz PCI divider so that the FSB is divided by 4 so it jumps back down to 33mhz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wI-OSMAN- Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 my motherboard only supports up to 733E coppermine at it does support 133mhz fbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
