I also just installed the PowerLeap PL-iP3/T 1.2Ghz Celeron(Tualatin) and I've been very happy with the upgrade. The setup I have now should be good for atleast another year. Then I'll worry about building/buying a new system.

<< What's the fastest Celeron chip that I can upgrade to with the BX chipset? >> He asked what was the fastest Celeron he could upgrade to. Now, Coppermine 1.1Ghz Celeron or Tualatin 1.2Ghz Celeron, which is faster?

Not sure why you need to read the FAQs but the bottom line is that the 1.2Ghz Celeron(Tualatin) with the powerleap PL-iP3/T Slotket converter is the fastest processor currently availible for you MB. It may not be cheap(although I personally don't find $149.95 expensive) but it is your only...

Check here This is what I have in my slot 1 BX board and I think it's a great upgrade.

I just went for the Powerleap. Popped it into my machine and it works great. No problems. $149.95 for the slotkit, 1.2Ghz Celeron( tualatin) cpu, heatsink, and fan dosn't seem to pricey to me. Espicially since it's faster and cheaper then the Slot1 P3-1000E.

I'm glad you're amused.

No, not a Dell. Mine is a CompUSA PC. The case however is one used by Dell(well, used 2 years ago). And yes I'm very happy with the benchmarks. I'm sure that I can tweak things a bit for even more performance. And yes, everything is noticeably faster. And if you checkout Madonion you'll...

Ok, so here goes. First the MB I have is a BCM QS440BX with the latest BIOS rev. 2.10. It's about 2 years old but has been rock solid. Anyway, what I had on this board was a P3 600Mhz(katmai). Installation of the PL-iP3/T Celeron(Tualatin) 1.2Ghz was a piece of cake. Once installed I booted...

What a conincedence(sp). I ordered the Powerleap PL-iP3/T 1200C Celeron(Tualatin) earlier this week and recieved it this morning. I'll be installing it this evening and will come back with benchmarks and impressions afterwards.
